LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Dana Martinez, Psy.D.
As a psychologist, my job is to help my patients (adults, children, and families) identify problematic patterns, understand formative relationships, and develop self understanding. Therapy can help individuals learn how to express themselves and develop positive coping skills. The greatest predictor of success in therapy is the therapist-patient relationship and finding a therapist with whom you feel understood and can explore painful issues is crucial. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental space where we can explore the past and create a new future. I am bilingual & bicultural in Spanish and English.
Parents, I appreciate the fear and anxiety of having children struggle. We will work closely to help your child/teenager become less anxious or depressed and more resilient and socially comfortable. If a psychological or psychoeducational evaluation is required, I help parents acquire the understanding they need to become their child’s best advocate.
