Ava Martinez

Hello, I'm Ava Martinez, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in relationship counseling and couples therapy.

I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their emotions, build resilience, and develop the necessary skills to thrive. I believe that each person's journey is unique, and I strive to meet my clients where they are, tailoring my approach to their specific needs and goals. Through a combination of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Interventions, we will work together to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship difficulties. My therapeutic style is characterized by warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental attitude. I create a safe space for my clients to share their experiences, thoughts, and concerns, while fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and respect. I believe in empowering young individuals to tap into their own inner resources, discover their strengths, and develop effective coping strategies. During our sessions, we will explore your unique strengths, values, and aspirations, while also addressing any obstacles that may be hindering your personal growth. My aim is to support you in navigating life's challenges, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and fostering a positive sense of self. Together, we will work towards building resilience, enhancing self-esteem, and creating a foundation for a fulfilling and meaningful future.
