Parenting Therapists in Salt Lake City, UT

Hello! I'm Patty Martinez. I'm from Utah. I love the outdoors and enjoy the peace nature can bring. I also authentically enjoy working with people that are ready to make changes in their life. We all have our own expectation of what happiness and being normal all are. I'm not here to tell you what those are or to judge you for what you believe your joy or happiness is. However if there are parts of your life you'd like to change or would like to feel differently about through therapy I would like to help. At this time I am not working with any health insurance companies. I do work with HSA and take most credit cards and cash

I’ve heard it said that pain is the touchstone to growth. Have you been avoiding pain? Everything we see tells us we are always supposed to be happy, “put on a happy face”.

Within the context of a supportive environment I can help you face your pain, and overcome blocks that are keeping you in pain. I can help to get you unstuck and learn to embrace challenges. Together we can identify your unique challenges and tools to overcome them.

Do you feel fearful, anxious, or depressed? Are you weighted down by feelings of shame and guilt? Do you feel like your relationships are struggling?

For over 16 years I have been committed to working with people to reconnect with their true self by putting anger, anxiety, depression, shame, and trauma in its place and creating a place of peace and calm within themselves. We cannot control the world or other people. We CAN control what we do with our mind, body, and spirit to live the life we desire.

I will provide you with a variety of practices and tools to rebalance emotion and achieve freedom from unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. I use research-supported techniques within a warm, transparent, and interpersonally engaged therapeutic relationship.

I work with each client to increase awareness, acceptance, and compassion. My therapeutic style is open, active, authentic, and self-disclosing.

All family members can receive assessment and treatment, regardless of age, in order to improve individual and family functioning, and the experience of joy. I also assess children in their school or daycare setting, and provide assistance with IEP/IFSP meetings. I use both relational and behavioral strategies for treatment.

I believe that our wellness is directly tied to our beliefs and choices as we try to meet our most basic needs: survival, to love and be loved, to feel important, and to enjoy variety in life.
