(she/her)
Hi, I’m Teresa, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I offer therapy sessions Monday through Friday, with appointments available between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. My approach to therapy is supportive and collaborative. I believe therapy is most effective when you feel safe, understood, and empowered. Together, we’ll build on your existing strengths while developing practical tools, deeper self-awareness, and meaningful insights that support lasting growth and positive change.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is a chance for us to connect, explore what you're looking for, and see if working together feels like the right fit.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is offering support that feels affirming. I care deeply about how life’s challenges have impacted you, and I’m equally interested in the strength, creativity, and resilience you’ve shown in navigating them.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I’m best positioned to support clients who are ready to align their values with their behaviors and are motivated to make meaningful changes. You may feel stuck or out of sync with the life you want, but you’re open to exploring new perspectives and taking practical steps forward. I work well with individuals who appreciate a solution-focused approach and are looking to build tools that help them move toward a more intentional and fulfilling life.

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
A mindfulness-based approach that builds psychological flexibility, helping you relate differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while staying connected to your values and taking meaningful action.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
A future-oriented, evidence-based approach that builds on strengths and goals to create practical solutions and positive change for concerns like anxiety, depression, and stress.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, goal-oriented counseling style designed to strengthen personal motivation and commitment to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence
Narrative
A collaborative approach that separates an individual from their problems, viewing clients as the experts in their own lives. By removing self-blame, clients are empowered to "re-write" their personal stories, replacing problem-saturated narratives with ones that highlight their strengths and values

She is phenomenal! The best therapist I've ever had, and I've had dozens over the years. I wish I could see her everyday! She is so warm, kind, thoughtful and professional. I look forward to seeing her and can already see positive results regarding my mental health. Strongly recommend!

This is my first appointment with Dr. Martinez and it was very informative. Dr. Martinez took the time to listen to my concerns thoroughly and helped me understand my options. She was very welcoming and made me feel confident that I can do this. I'm looking forward to having more sessions with her.
