I have 10 years of clinical experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship issues, stress, life transitions, self-esteem, and ADHD. My specialization is in helping people reach their “best selves” in developing age appropriate skills in order to push through any “road blocks” in one’s personal development.
I am committed to building a collaborative relationship with you as you apply new tools towards your personal growth. You will identify your strengths, and we will problem-solve together. I am a genuine, caring therapist and throughout this process, you will feel understood and supported. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, person-centered, interpersonal, and strength-based counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Darlyn Martinez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I would say my therapist offers sound and reasonable advise. She always gets back to me in a rather quick time. I feel she has my best interests at heart.

Darlyn was very kind and helpful. She identified problems that even I wasn't able to. She's very understanding and really wants to help in anyway possible. Our sessions were very insightful, and I'm glad to have worked with her. Truly reccomend!

I’ve met with Darlyn for several months now and although I was reluctant at first to seek professional help, she made a world of a difference in my life and I’m so grateful for it! She extremely responsive, real and is amazing at what she does. I can’t thank her enough.

I tried therapy before and I felt like I didn't get much out of it or I felt like they didn't really care for me or my situation. Then I was set up with Darlyn and it has been life changing. I'm not very religious but I feel like Darlyn is like a guardian angel guiding me through my thoughts and emotions leading me to a place of peace.

Ive always known and told myself that therapy will help no matter who you are. A lot of people see therapy as something scary or meaning there's something wrong with them and i couldn't disagree more. Especially with Darlyn's help; she has made me see and look at things in a new perspective and light. I am in a much better place mentally and emotionally after a few months of seeing her and am glad i did. You can tell she really cares and wants what's best for you.

Darlyn "got me" from day one. I tried therapy 3 previous time and never really clicked with the process or therapist. My inability to cope with my feelings and circumstances brought me to Better Help and to Darlyn - and I am so grateful for it. Darlyn listens, understands, validates, but also challenges me and reminds me of the process and the self-work involved in therapy that only I can do. So grateful to have her!
