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.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with teens (12+) and adults who want down-to-earth, practical help for worry, low mood, poor sleep, and low energy. People come to me when anxiety, panic, persistent sadness, or sleep problems that are starting to get in the way of daily life, work, school, or relationships — or when past treatments didn’t help enough or caused unwanted side effects. I treat anxiety (including panic and OCD), depression, bipolar mood instability, psychosis when medication management is needed, insomnia, and struggles with motivation and energy.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Dayton

Searching for therapists in Dayton starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, and work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match what you want to focus on. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Dayton has a smaller local provider market than larger Ohio cities, so virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still keeping care connected to your schedule. Some people prefer in-person sessions near downtown Dayton, Kettering, or the Miami Valley, while others choose virtual appointments for more flexibility. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free phone consultation options, and the therapist’s communication style. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand what sessions may feel like and whether the therapist’s approach fits your needs.

Therapy in Dayton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, show upfront cost estimates, and are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists in Dayton, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

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