Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Garland, TX

Let's be real, sometimes life gets in the way of living! There are just time when life is not always the way we want or thought it would be.

People keep saying that you are so strong, but you don't want to be strong and you definitely don’t feel strong. You know you have people around you that love you and also you feel alone. You want to believe that you’ll find yourself again. If you’re losing hope that you can manage all the things in your life, counseling can help!

I work with adults, couples, and teens, helping people untangle challenges that often feel overwhelming, interconnected, or hard to name. I believe most struggles don’t exist in isolation—they affect our relationships, our emotions, and how we move through the world. My role is to truly get to know you, understand your story, and support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

My background is both clinical and academic. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with graduate degrees in Philosophy and Sociology, and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Communications. I’m also a doctoral candidate in Educational Psychology. This combination allows me to look at your concerns through emotional, relational, and systemic lenses—not just symptom-focused ones.

I specialize in trauma work, relationship therapy, and working with preteens and teens—who are often misunderstood but incredibly important to support early. I’ve trained in EMDR, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), CBT, Art Therapy, and Conflict & Dispute Resolution. Above all, I value creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely supported.

• Enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, family and marriage populations.
• For past several years I have worked in both private and public school settings.
• Hold a certification in both Trauma and Christian Counseling.

I’m Oscar Martinez, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas. With over two decades of diverse experience across business, fitness, education, and therapy, I bring a unique, holistic approach to counseling that connects with people from all walks of life. I am a father of two beautiful daughters, and a husband to a wonder wife. I believe that every individual is capable of creating positive change, and that therapy should be a partnership, one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

As your counselor, I want you to know that you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, or questions of self-worth, I’m here to walk alongside you with encouragement and support. My passion is helping people find their voice, discover new ways to express emotions, and build healthier patterns in their lives. Together, we’ll work on quieting negative self-talk, setting boundaries that honor your needs, and creating space for healing and self-discovery.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m an EMDR certified, licensed professional counselor who believes real growth starts with curiosity, compassion, and a little bit of courage.

Together, we’ll blend practical tools with deeper reflection to help you move through life’s struggles, find your balance, and create a life that feels good to live. My hope is that you leave each session feeling grounded, encouraged, and connected to what matters most.
