Getting to know Joanna Martinez

Hi there, I'm Joanna! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based out of Southern California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Argosy University. I have experience working with adults in various settings, from outpatient to incarcerated individuals. My approach is to provide a safe space where clients can feel comfortable speaking their truth, navigating their traumas, identifying patterns, and embarking on a journey of self-acceptance. I foster healing and growth by utilizing mindfulness strategies, trauma-informed approaches, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and compassion in my practice. My approach I offer support and guidance through collaborative work aimed at promoting self-compassion while building insight and resiliency during the healing process. I frequently draw on my training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to create a space where clients can confront their fears and release what no longer serves them. My focus I have found my approach and style to be a good fit for those experiencing challenges related to anxiety and stress, LGBTQ+ affirmation, identity, relationship issues, and life transitions. I welcome those new to therapy as well as first-generation individuals working to break generational traumas. My goal is to help clients develop skills that foster connection, growth, and a new perspective rooted in positivity and self-love. My communication style My communication style is calm, positive, and empathetic. I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental space for growth and exploration. I aim to ease clients through the many emotions that may arise, no matter how uncomfortable they feel, encouraging and validating self-discovery every step of the way.
