Getting to know Cristal Martinez

Hi there, I'm Cristal! Hello, my name is Cristal Martinez. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Pedro, California. I hold a Master's degree in Psychology and Counseling from National University. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and those wanting to learn better coping skills. My approach Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I encourage clients to collaborate with me in shaping their experience and voicing preferences. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help individuals understand the power their mind has over their lives. My focus I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. I work with clients of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and life transitions. My communication style I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and strive to make clients feel understood, listened to, and supported in a non-judgmental space. I have a calm demeanor, but also believe therapy can be fun. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist after over 15 years in counseling roles. Working with underserved communities revealed my passion for helping others. I enjoy listening and helping people unlock their true potential. My goals for you I encourage clients to share what brought them to therapy and what they hope to accomplish. Together, we set attainable goals to improve overall well-being.
