When anxiety, depression, or painful life experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life, it's easy to feel like you're simply trying to make it through each day. You may be carrying emotional pain that's become difficult to manage on your own, wondering if life can feel lighter again. Healing is possible, and you don't have to navigate those challenges alone. I specialize in helping clients work through anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma, and family issues so they can feel more emotionally balanced, strengthen their relationships, and regain confidence in themselves and their future. I work with adults because I believe every person deserves a compassionate, judgment free space where they feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

Welcome to Family Forward Therapy, a Texas-based group practice offering virtual therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Our team includes therapists with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and areas of focus so we can help connect you with someone who fits your individual needs.

I’m Roberto Martinez, therapist and founder of Family Forward Therapy. I’ve built a team of clinicians with different backgrounds, specialties, and experiences so that clients have more options when looking for the right therapist.

We work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, grief, life transitions, and more. Our clinicians also bring experience working with populations and concerns that can sometimes be harder to find specialized support for.

When you schedule through this profile, you are connecting with Family Forward Therapy rather than only one individual therapist. After you book, we may contact you briefly to learn what type of therapy you’re seeking and what you would like help with. Based on your needs, preferences, availability, and insurance, your appointment may be reassigned to another therapist within our practice who may be a better fit.

Our goal is simple: help you get connected with the right therapist without having to spend weeks searching.

Alex Robison

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


Hi, I'm Alex! My path into this work began in early childhood development, where I learned just how much our earliest relationships and experiences shape the way we move through the world as adults. That foundation still informs everything I do; I'm endlessly curious about the "why" behind how we feel and behave, and I hold that curiosity with warmth and zero judgment.

Outside of my practice you'll usually find me behind a camera. Photography taught me to slow down and pay attention to small, beautiful details, and to appreciate that the same scene can look completely different depending on where you're standing (a lesson that I find turns out to be pretty useful in therapy as well). I love being out in nature whenever I can and at home I share my space with a cuddly cat who supervises most of my day.

Sean Simpson

Therapist

Virtual • Minnesota


I am a military veteran with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, with a specialized focus over the past decade on men’s mental health, including court-ordered assessments and mandated treatment services. My clinical approach is grounded primarily in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I utilize to support clients in developing emotional regulation, coping skills, and sustainable behavioral change. In my current role, I conduct comprehensive mental health screenings, coordinate and oversee integrated care services, and provide direct clinical support within a substance use inpatient treatment setting. Additionally, I dedicate part of my practice to serving a rural Tribal Native American community through a mental health clinic, where I provide culturally responsive and community-informed care.

I also strongly advocate for men navigating systems where they are often disproportionately penalized or misunderstood, working to ensure their mental health needs are appropriately recognized and addressed within legal, correctional, and treatment environments. My professional focus includes supporting fair, trauma-informed approaches that balance accountability with rehabilitation. I have specialized experience working with individuals diagnosed with psychotic disorders and mood disorders, providing psychoeducation to clients and their families—particularly during the early stages of diagnosis—and delivering life skills training to promote stability, independence, and long-term success in community living.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Saint Paul

Finding OCD therapists in Saint Paul starts with looking for the right training, not just a matching specialty label. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach commonly used in OCD care, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re seeking support for obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or related concerns, review therapist bios for ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and clear experience with obsessive compulsive disorder.

Saint Paul offers a focused local mental health care market, with more options when you include nearby virtual care across Minnesota. Some people prefer in-person OCD therapy near home, work, or campus, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility or access to therapists with specific ERP training. As you compare options, look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD. Check whether they describe ERP experience, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation so you can ask about their approach before booking.

Therapy in Saint Paul can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check whether your plan is accepted, see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
