Blanca Martinez, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Uses humor in therapy, speaks Spanglish, challenges me while providing support and comfort.

Something to know about my approach is:

You are going to feel comfortable in session. At times I will challenge you to look at a different perspective, see the role you played in this problem story, or what patterns are you continuing to repeat. Don't worry it's a gentle challenge.

Together, we will:

Explore your past to understand your present day problems, behaviors, patterns, etc.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are first generation Latinas/Latinos or Latinos/Latinas in general. Some problem issues talked about in therapy are: imposter syndrome, perfectionism, generational trauma, growing up in a chaotic household, relationship issues, etc.

I became a therapist because:

I was a Spanish translator for non-speaking therapists at a clinic . Seeing the work they did inspired me and that's how it all started.
