Michelle Martinez, PsyD. (She/Her/Ella)

Pre Licensed Psychologist

Entering or re-engaging in therapy is a big step towards prioritizing your emotional and interpersonal well-being.

I believe therapy should be a space made by you and for you.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the power of relationships in the healing process.

I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, where trust and authenticity are at the foundation. During sessions, it is important to me that clients feel heard and feel like I meet them where they are at.

I view the therapy space as a playground, where clients can express themselves freely, gain new insights, and explore ways to infuse those insights into their life.

My Specialties

I specialize in helping clients understand how they engage with others and explore ways to gain more satisfaction in their relational connections. Additionally, I focus on assisting clients in developing practical coping skills. I  help to deconstruct commercialized views of self-care practices and help clients build a toolbox of strategies that are personalized to them. 

My worldview is  influenced by my experiences as a bilingual (English/Spanish), 1st-generation Puerto Rican and Afro-Colombian cisgender woman. My clinical interests include minority identity development, Latinx mental health, self-esteem, imposter syndrome, graduate school stress, relational conflicts, stress management, life transitions, grieving, breakups, relational trauma, depression, and anxiety.

Get to Know Me

I appreciate the simple joy of a well-brewed cafecito, a daily ritual that offers both comfort and reflection.

I enjoy watching documentaries that deepen my understanding of history, culture, and human behavior.

I love cooking Caribbean meals.

Music is a constant in my life, whether I’m listening to Spanish melodies or sharing a spontaneous dance with my children.

Rediscover Your Voice

Therapy is a space where you can explore your identity, values, and relationships without judgment. Together, we will help you build confidence in expressing your needs and navigating connections that feel fulfilling.
