“I really like working with Mr. Martinez. He is extremely helpful. I found that he is always willing to share helpful tools. He frontloads his relationship with patients, asking you if you need more support, motivation, a coach, etc. and is willing to work with you a those needs change. He is also very very insightful on how various aspects of the inner workings of county services and special needs children services work (which is helpful for those of us who care for those children, and can be experiencing caregiving overwhelm and need support). He is very good at what he does. I highly recommend him!!!”

Getting to know Luis F. Martinez
Hello and Welcome!
Are there moments in your life when you wish things could go better? Have you noticed changes in your ability to connect with yourself (mind/body) or with others (friends, family, new acquaintances)? Have you wondered what's wrong with your self-care? What habits are interfering with leveling up?
I want to start by recognizing the tremendous courage it takes to seek therapy. I utilize a whole-person, strength-based, and compassionate approach to understanding your challenges. My goal is to support you by listening and helping you find solutions that work for you. I practice cultural humility and a solutions-focused approach to ensure that you are in the driver's seat while I serve as your headlights in reaching your destination. I draw from a variety of evidence-based practices and consider myself eclectic in style. In our sessions, therapy should feel natural, conversational, safe, and be a space that promotes healing. We all need someone to talk to, so let's work together.
I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, East Bay, and a Bachelor's degree from San Diego State University.
Tambi?n hablo Espa?ol.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal is to provide therapeutic space that allows you to feel safe, feel seen, and be heard while addressing some of those intimate and not so comfortable topics of life. I will provide you with active listening, compassionate and empathic support, and work collaboratively with you to find solutions and relief.

Luis F. Martinez, LCSW has 200+ in-network plans.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
