Christina R. Martinez
You know life has ups and downs, but the challenges you are facing can make it feel like an endless rollercoaster. Whether you are struggling with 'adulting' or other life changes, I completely understand your need for life to be easier. Through our time together, you can begin to feel a sense of calm and get back on track to living a purposeful life.
As a therapist specializing in life changes & anxiety, I am committed to helping you find more life balance and a sense of inner peace. I work with both individuals and families. With two decades of experience, you can rest easy knowing you are in capable hands.
Your life is hectic and choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. I want you to receive the best possible care, which means working with the RIGHT therapist (not just some random name from a list). That’s why I offer a free call to help you decide. If I'm not a fit, I can provide you with referrals.
I primarily work with young adults and other helping professionals (teachers, nurses, physicians, and other therapists) who may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, family problems, and/or navigating difficult life changes. My clients typically begin to experience gradual relief within 2 months of weekly sessions.
I utilize an integrative approach to therapy with strategies from many effective treatment types including ACT, Brainspotting, IFS Informed Parts Work, and Motivational Interviewing. You can expect your experience to be welcoming & casual (never super stuffy or formal). I believe in honoring each person's strengths & consciously creating a space where you can feel free to be your authentic self.
Walk & Talk sessions are available in Flagstaff during summer months and in Chandler in the winter.
