Yvonne Martinez, LCSW
About me
My name is Yvonne Martinez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My therapeutic approach is strength-based, client-centered, solution-focused combined with cognitive behavior therapy, with a collaborative approach sprinkled with some humor. I am no cookie-cutter therapist, and your feedback is important to me, which is why I do my best to meet you on your level.
I provide a safe, empathetic, comfortable environment while guiding and assisting you in identifying triggers, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that impact your daily life. I have experience in working with people who have mild to severe Depression/Anxiety symptoms, grief/loss, trauma, Women's issues, relationship issues, work related issues, life stress, adapting to changes, and more.
Tackling one problem at a time, I'll be by your side. If you're ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you!
