The majority of my sessions are with couples. I enjoy working with pre-marital or pre-engaged clients who are looking to discuss sometimes difficult subjects before getting married. I also enjoy working with committed partners who may be struggling to communicate or connect in a intimate way who are looking for some guidance in their relationship.

I like to help couples to understand each other in a more profound way to help strengthen their existing relationship. It is sometimes difficult to talk to our partners about necessary subjects. My hope as a counselor is to provide a safe environment to discuss these topics with my clients.

I currently see clients with anger management issues as well and I am certified in Anger Resolution Therapy. I particularly enjoy working with couples who are experiencing anger issues in their relationship. I also recently finished training for my Sex Therapy Candidates' License, and I am accepting sex therapy clients.

Everyone has a story, and I believe healing begins when someone finally has the space to tell it without fear of judgment.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life's unexpected challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long, therapy can become a place where things begin to make sense again.

I spent more than 25 years walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult moments. Today, I combine that life experience with evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward lasting change.

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better—it's to help you heal in ways that create meaningful and lasting transformation.

Example: "I have always wanted a job where I was of service to others, but I didn't know how to channel that into a career until I took an introduction to psychology course in college. We learned a lot about mental illness, what causes it and different ways to treat it, which inspired me to pursue my degree. I loved the idea of helping others overcome mental illness and helping them achieve their life goals."

Hi, I'm Amber Martinez, licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) specializing in psychotherapy. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, trauma, and eating disorders. I offer both in-person sessions and virtual therapy for clients throughout Texas.

I work with both couples and individuals, using approaches that fit who you are and what you’re going through. As a parent to adult children, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to raise kids and stay connected, and how important it is to feel supported along the way. With my background as a Registered Nurse, I also bring a mind-body perspective to our work together.

I'm glad you stopped by to find out more about my offerings. I specialize in the treatment of women ages 25 & up dealing with challenges such as:

• life transitions
• people-pleasing tendencies
• procrastination
• avoidance
• perfectionism and/or not feeling like enough
• a harsh inner-critic
• relationship issues
• family related issues

I offer talk therapy, art therapy or a combination of both. I am EMDR trained and use DBT, CBT and mindfulness in my work.

I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from California University of Pennsylvania in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with children and adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and some substance use, also at a psychiatrist hospital and with youth in the juvenile system. I’m a first-generation Nigerian American and the creative “black sheep” of my family. I bring empathy, authenticity, and individuality into my therapy practice, helping clients heal and grow.
