Hi there, I'm Jazmin Martinez, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles. I have experience in helping people with various challenges from managing stress, anxiety, and relationship issues, to coping with grief & loss, & depression, life changes, infertility, and healing from generational trauma. I believe that you are the expert on your story and have many strengths that I hope to assist you in identifying.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first session, you can expect me to prioritize what you most want to talk about, and what brings you here. I want to know what is most bothering you, how it affects you, and what you hope to be different. For our first session, I want to get to know you and better understand what else may be contributing to how you are feeling such as family dynamics, mental health history, current social supports, substance use, etc.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My approach to therapy is client-centered focusing on each person’s individual needs using different methods all while first and foremost using empathetic and active listening. My communication style is gentle, non-judgmental, calm, & casual. My primary goal is that my clients feel comfortable, comforted, cared for, and listened to.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I typically work with adults with challenges surrounding body image, self-esteem/confidence, infertility, work-related stress, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation/ loneliness, grief, mood disorders, panic disorder/panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, & social anxiety.
