Hello, I’m Dr. Tony Martinez. With twenty years of experience, I am an Air Force veteran and a former professor of psychology. I primarily serve clients experiencing depression and anxiety and work extensively with couples. I believe that when clients are invested in their mental healthcare, and through careful therapeutic collaboration, they can expect to achieve positive outcomes within a relatively short timeframe.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding your current concerns. I'll ask about your background, your symptoms, and any specific issues you're facing. This initial assessment helps me understand your unique situation and allows us to start setting goals for therapy. You can also ask any questions you have about the therapy process. This session is a safe space for you to share your story and begin your journey towards healing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a psychotherapist, my greatest strengths lie in my extensive experience, empathetic approach, and commitment to personalized care. With twenty years of practice, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our sessions. Being an Air Force veteran and a former professor of psychology has given me unique insights and a diverse perspective on mental health. What makes me unique is my ability to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, and I also work extensively with couples. My collaborative approach ensures that we work together to develop effective strategies tailored to your specific needs. My clients often appreciate my ability to combine practical therapeutic techniques with genuine empathy and understanding. This combination helps foster a strong therapeutic alliance and paves the way for meaningful progress and positive outcomes.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for 20 years, I help clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. I begin with a thorough assessment to understand their issues, symptoms, and the contributing negative thoughts and behaviors. I then educate clients about the CBT model, explaining the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to provide a rationale for the therapy. I collaborate with clients to set SMART goals, offering clear direction and progress tracking. I help them become aware of their automatic negative thoughts, often through thought records or diaries. Once identified, I guide clients in challenging and reframing these thoughts by examining evidence, considering alternative perspectives, and testing new ways of thinking. To reinforce these new thought patterns, I employ behavioral experiments—planned activities that test clients’ beliefs and encourage adaptive behaviors. I also provide skills training, teaching coping, problem-solving, relaxation techniques, stress management strategies, and communication skills. For clients with anxiety or phobias, I use exposure therapy, gradually and systematically exposing them to feared situations to reduce avoidance behaviors. I assign homework to reinforce session learnings, such as practicing new skills and engaging in behavioral experiments. Throughout the therapy process, I regularly review progress and work on relapse prevention strategies, helping clients develop a plan to maintain their gains and address potential challenges. By following these steps, I support clients in developing healthier thinking patterns and behaviors, leading to improved mental health and well-being.
