I am so glad that you've come across my page! My name is Abel Martinez and I'd like to help. I believe that if you seek mental health treatment, you can bring your whole self to therapy. If you are motivated by change and want to experience relief of any symptoms that limit your possibilities, then I am interested in working with you. And if you are unsure or nervous, you are welcome too! There are many ways to stress out in today's world; however, I'd like to support you in finding even more ways to feel happy, connected, valued, and proud of yourself.
I welcome all people, regardless of their beliefs, goals, culture, or sexual identity. I offer an eclectic variety of approaches and have years of experience working with marginalized families, anxiety, depression, acculturation, and anger management. I have provided services for behavior management, goal development, and social emotional dysregulation.
While I may not know the severity of challenges you are facing, I am super open to helping you to understand and embrace those parts that often create distress in you. It has always been my life goal to help people in need; and I am here to listen to the story of you. Let's set up a consultation to see how I might be of service to you.
