Hello. My name is Bobbie Martin and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in California. I have been working in the mental health field for over 25 years. I graduated from California State University, Bakersfield with my Masters degree in Social Work and became licensed in 2019. I use several different methods of treatment and try to tailor it to each individual client. If one method doe sot seem to be working, I will make changes to how I provide therapy so my client's are able to receive the care they deserve.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session there will be brief introductions. We will talk about why you are coming to therapy and help you develop a treatment plan that fits your needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Not only do I have education/working knowledge of mental health but I also have lived experience. Over the past 25+ years working with people who have mental health issues I have worked with a wide range of mental health disorders. I don't feel that my client's come from a textbook and I don't pretend to know everything and I have learned a lot from my client's over the years. I genuinely listen to my client's and help them found their path forward.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with adolescents, adults and couples experiencing emotional distress such as anxiety, depression, post- traumatic stress, post-partum depression, loss of a loved one as well as communication issues. Helping others see their true potential and reach their goals has been my passion long before it was my career. I have spent over 25 years in the mental health field helping my clients unlock their true potential and find their inner happiness.
