Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Belton, TX

I am glad you found me, and you found this website. To me, that shows that you are ready to make a change in your life. My goal for you in therapy is to live a happier life every day. We are not guaranteed a lot in life, but my goal is to give you the power to enjoy what we do have influence on. I am a human just like you, and my approach is the same. I will meet you where you are at, and I will challenge you to live a better life, because you deserve it. Even if you choose someone else on this website, I am proud of you for making this step.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board-Approved Supervisor with nearly 10 years of experience supporting adults through anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, chronic illness, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, with a focus on culturally responsive care.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I have a particular interest in helping clients reconnect with their motivation, discover or redefine their sense of purpose, and heal experiences from childhood that may continue to influence their emotions, relationships, and sense of self today. Together, we can explore the patterns and experiences that have shaped you while also developing practical tools to help you move forward.

I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. When appropriate, our work may also explore inner-child healing, identity, self-worth, spirituality, relationships, and life purpose.

My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can better understand yourself, reconnect with what matters to you, and create meaningful changes that align with the person you want to become. Services are available in both English and Spanish.

I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be yourself without judgment. I work with teens and adults across the lifespan, with particular experience supporting clients as they navigate anxiety, relationships, life transitions, and the challenges that come with change. My background in education has given me a deep understanding of the pressures people face at different stages of life, while my counseling training allows me to support clients in finding greater clarity, confidence, and balance. I strive to create a space that feels comfortable, supportive, and collaborative, while helping clients recognize their strengths and move toward meaningful change.

Hello! My name is Rachel. You don’t have to deal with your struggles alone. I am here to listen to your story.

I have over 10 years of experience working intensively with people who have substance use disorders, anxiety, trauma, depression & PTSD. My previous experience as a Clinical Director allowed me the honor of witnessing the transformation that happens in a person's life through therapeutic work. I believe in you and trust the process. My philosophies are strengths-based, person-centered with confidence that there is always hope. I serve as guide to assist you in healing and implementing changes so you can live a happier, healthier life.

The client-therapist relationship is one of the most important components of therapy. It is important you find the right fit. That is why I offer a free initial consultation. I am offering telehealth sessions and have evening availability to meet your needs.

I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.

My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.

I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

I believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not an interrogation. My role isn’t to tell you what to do—it’s to walk alongside you, helping you better understand yourself, work through life’s challenges, and build the confidence and skills to move forward. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based techniques, but I also believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship we build together.

Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs. With younger children, that may look like play-based therapy. With teens and adults, it often feels like a comfortable conversation where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is for every client to leave feeling heard, supported, and equipped with practical tools they can use in everyday life.

Blest be the life that finds joy in the journey...

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.
