Getting to know Adriana Martinez
I'm a therapist, but more importantly, I'm a human who understands how complex life can feel. Whether you're navigating identity, relationships, trauma, or feeling overwhelmed, therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of things, and feel supported in a way that actually fits your life.
My work is shaped by who I am: a daughter, mother, Latina, immigrant, Bay Area raised, neurodivergent, and breast cancer survivor. These parts of me aren't separate from the work. They shape how I show up in it. I understand what it means to hold multiple identities, care for others while trying to care for yourself, and move through systems that don't always feel built for you.
Tonalli was created from that understanding: a space where you don't have to shrink, over-explain, or leave parts of yourself behind. A space where you can show up fully and be met with care, context, and respect.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social WorkerLCW #75597 and the founder of Tonalli Therapy & Consulting, a bilingual, BIPOC-centered group practice in the Bay Area. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, drawing from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Beyond the therapy room, I'm an EMDR consultant-in-training supporting EMDR-trained therapists toward certification, a clinical supervisor and consultant for school districts, and I provide immigration evaluations for cases where a mental health evaluation is needed to support a legal case.
Please note: I am not currently accepting new therapy clients. The Tonalli team includes wonderful bilingual, culturally responsive clinicians who are.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Please note: I am not currently accepting new therapy clients. My colleagues at Tonalli Therapy & Consulting are, and I'd trust them with my own family.
For those working with me in other capacities: I bring the same values to everything I do. As a clinical supervisor and EMDR consultant-in-training, I support associates working toward licensure and EMDR-trained therapists pursuing certification, with the belief that clinicians deserve the same care, context, and respect we extend to clients. As a consultant to school districts, I help wellness teams expand access to mental health services for the students who need them most.
I also provide immigration evaluations, conducted in English or Spanish, for individuals whose legal cases require a mental health evaluation. This work is done with cultural humility and a deep respect for what it takes to share your story in a legal process.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My approach is integrative and trauma-informed. I draw from EMDR to help the nervous system reprocess painful experiences, Internal Family Systems (IFS) to understand the protective parts of you that learned to cope the best way they knew how, and DBT and CBT for practical, concrete skills you can actually use between sessions. We go at your pace, and everything runs through a culturally responsive lens, in English or Spanish.
For supervision and EMDR consultation, the process starts with a conversation about your goals, whether that's hours toward licensure or the path to EMDR certification, and we build a consistent, supportive structure from there.
For immigration evaluations, I conduct a thorough clinical interview and prepare a comprehensive written evaluation for your attorney, and I'm mindful throughout that telling your story in this context takes courage.
