Introduction

My name is Monica Martinez, and I am an associate marriage family therapist (AMFT #146625) and associate professional clinical counselor (APCC #16472). I hold a BA in English from UC Berkeley and an MA in psychology/counseling from National/JFK University. As an East Bay native, I’m committed to supporting my community. With a background in race, gender, and feminist theory, I focus on understanding and supporting the intersections of our identities. I create a nonjudgmental environment, particularly for queer-identifying BIPOC, to safely explore their multifaceted identities. Together, we can understand and embrace who we are and who we want to be. Specializing in trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy, I guide clients in identifying, processing, and healing trauma. My strength-based, humanistic, and holistic approach includes art, play, and somatic therapy to empower clients through their existing and new modes of expression. I also specialize in working with at-risk youth ages 5-20 facing suicidal ideation, self-injury, or aggression. I support those who have experienced homelessness, are in or have aged out of the foster system, or have faced psychiatric emergencies. Together, we can identify maladaptive thought and behavior patterns, enhance communication skills, develop coping strategies, and set achievable goals.
