Gabriel Martinez

At the core of my practice is a humanistic value that honors the individual person and the whole of their life experience within the larger global system. I focus on helping people build awareness of their needs and how to be able to effectively weigh decisions for action. I work with all genders in the age spectrum of adolescence to adulthood. To compliment the diversity of the experiences that define life, I use a variety of psychological modalities. My approach to therapy draws heavily from training in systems theory, existential therapy, relational therapy, ecotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

I work with people experiencing a variety of mental health, relational, and life transition challenges. I have extensive experience in treating substance use issues using a harm reduction/decision making approach. I take pride in supporting people in forming an identity they feel secure in and providing them with the skills to live a healthy fulfilling life.

I approach therapy with a laid back style that uses openness and curiosity to build an alliance in our relationship. Ultimately, our personalities and willingness to be vulnerable in sessions will dictate how our relationship influences the outcomes of therapy.
