Getting to know Paul Martinez
Have you ever felt shame, depression, hopelessness, a feeling of being lost, grief, or unsettling emotions stemming from unprocessed trauma? My clients come to me to help create the best versions of themselves, process trauma-related symptoms, find motivation to take action on their values and goals, and overcome the many stressors and traumas that life can bring. I strongly encourage you to reach out so I can assist you on your journey toward wellness. I believe in creating a judgment-free zone within the counseling process through acceptance, empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in trauma counseling, addiction counseling, and grief/loss counseling. In my practice, I use a humanistic approach to build a therapeutic relationship integrated with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I have professional training in EMDR Therapy to help clients process trauma, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and overcome various addictive behaviors. I earned my Master's in Counseling from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. I believe every person possesses the ability to overcome and persevere through life's stressors and challenges. I became a counselor to help people find hope, courage, and motivation to act on their life goals. I love helping people get unstuck, find light in their darkest days, and meet individuals from diverse cultures and unique walks of life. Trust, empathy, and unconditional acceptance describe my therapeutic philosophy. Please reach out so I can assist you in your next step toward healing.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect the initial intake session to be formatted as a "get to know you" session, where we explore family history, mental health history, relationships, strengths, and goals for therapy. During the initial session, I will also go over policies of practice and the different evidence-based interventions/modalities that I am trained in to help treat various issues. During the first few sessions, we will be focusing on building rapport and establishing a therapeutic alliance. As therapy progresses, you can expect me to bring in an individualized treatment plan around the 3rd to 4th session, which will highlight your personal treatment goals and the steps on how we will reach those goals together.

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.
