Getting to know Claire Williams Martinez

I believe that therapy can be transformative, but your success depends on the trust we build in our relationship. I provide warmth, nonjudgment, and honesty in our conversations, along with a psychodynamic approach designed to help you achieve insight. People often turn to therapy when they feel trapped. You and I will work together toward release, whether that involves managing anxiety, depression, patterns of behavior, relationship dynamics, the impact of trauma, or something else. Our goal will be for you to recognize and act on opportunities for positive change. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Service and earned my Bachelor's degree from Vassar College.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach to therapy is not restricted. I often work psychodynamically, as a result of my experience in Jungian psychoanalysis, but I embrace different techniques depending on the needs of my clients. For example, when people want quick relief from distress, a cognitive behavioral approach can be helpful. After working for many years as a designer, I am well-suited to support creatives with problems like imposter syndrome, fear of failure, burnout, and financial instability. I work with people from diverse backgrounds, and I approach each client relationship as a unique opportunity to learn.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin my sessions without a prescribed structure. Instead, I make space for each client to share what they are feeling and thinking. We reflect on experiences, challenges, and dreams. We explore patterns in relationships and behavior. By sifting through these dimensions of inner life, we hope to uncover unconscious motivations and reduce emotional distress. We close sessions by setting intentions for the next conversation. If you are looking for a safe space where you can be vulnerable and where you will be heard, please reach out.
