Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.
I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.
My story is a bit unique as to how I became a psychotherapist. I studied abroad in Costa Rica during college where I learned the Spanish language and where my love of adventure and exploration began. After moving to Los Angeles for several years, I decided to then move to New York City to pursue a career in music which is my first love. I was living in NYC and working for Sony Music on September 11, 2001 which changed my life dramatically. I decided to return to The University of Texas in Austin and obtained my Masters in Social Work in an effort to pursue a career in helping others which is my second love.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the Relational Model as I believe that relationships, both with ourselves and others, are what allow us each to feel fulfilled, secure, and empowered. My hope is that we can work together as a team to unlock your inner strengths so that you can confidently manage life's stressors in the past, present, and future.
I love working with adolescents and I have a warm, non-judgmental, humorous, but direct approach that seems to fit well with teenagers. I have worked for many years in community mental health and as such have been successful with almost every diagnosis that exists, all age groups, and all genders. I look forward to working with you and your family.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.
I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.
My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.

Are you ready to discover inner peace, dreams, invest in yourself, and/or simply foster healthy relationships? If the answer is yes, then I am ready to meet you where you are to begin the process. As a counselor, my goal is to incorporate a judgment-free, safe, and restorative environment for couples, individuals, and families to work through life challenges.
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. My hope is that our time together will leave you feeling more empowered and hopeful.
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.
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!
