I offer depth-oriented therapy for clients who feel stuck with relationships, identity questions, life transitions, grief, or anxiety. Many have tried therapy before and found it helpful but incomplete. I work with adults, children, couples, families, and seniors, creating space for exploration and lasting change. My work is psychoanalytic and relational, affirming why difficulties persist despite every effort to heal. I offer a supportive, structured space where open-ended conversation and creative exploration are guided by attention to what matters most to you. I have advanced training in psychoanalytic theory and experience in both private practice and academic hospital settings. I offer a thoughtful, collaborative, and emotionally attuned space for clients who are curious about themselves and open to deeper self-exploration.
Welcome. I offer counseling for students navigating life transitions, academic or career stress, cultural adjustment, relationships, and mental health concerns like anxiety, low mood, or overwhelm. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and empowered to grow. My approach is integrative, with a focus on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic work to help you explore and heal with compassion and curiosity. I have significant experience working with international students, expats, and individuals facing trauma, cultural challenges, and major life changes. Originally from Switzerland and bilingual in English and German, I understand the complexities of adapting to new environments. If you're looking for support during this time in your life, I invite you to reach out.
I provide a safe environment for clients and trauma survivors to heal their wounds. During our initial sessions, we will get to know one another and discover the issues you would like to address. We will collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back.
Early attachment experiences and relational environments shape how we see ourselves and connect with others. When those experiences involve chronic stress, neglect, or rupture, the effects can echo across generations. My approach attends carefully to these developmental layers, helping clients build regulation, integration, and a renewed sense of agency. I offer an exploratory therapy process grounded in careful attention to the patterns that shape our inner world and relationships. My work is trauma-informed and integrative, incorporating EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and expressive arts therapies to support healing at both cognitive and embodied levels.
Alexandra (Ali) Martinez, PhD, LMFT received her Masters, Specialist, and Doctoral degrees from the University of Florida’s Counselor Education program. Ali has over 25 years of experience as a clinician including extensive experience working with the college student population and in the areas of crisis intervention, relational/family counseling, systems work, and suicide prevention. Ali’s work is grounded in narrative, systemic, and oppression-sensitive approaches to counseling. She also draws deeply from humanistic traditions, believing that healing begins in a collaborative, authentic relationship – one where the client’s story, voice, and values guide the process.
I am neurodivergent, witchy, kink positive, I cuss a lot, I am unapologetically Black, and I absolutely center my life and survival around pleasure. By embodying an existential, person-centered, and social justice approach, I strive to support my community in exploring and embracing the parts of ourselves that shame, guilt, sorrow, and oppression have tried to bury. We cannot reclaim the fruits and flowers of our light, without also honoring the guttural and soil-like darkness that lies within us! Together, let us reclaim, rebirth, and rebel! A core part of the work I do with clients is shadow work. I define shadow work as the process of exploring the parts of ourselves that are unexpressed & repressed. I also embody the role of a mirror for clients; in order to help facilitate self reflection, empowerment, & reclamation. I want you to become the highest authority over your own truths! Although I am cisgender and straight, I would not be the powerful Black femme and therapist I am without my Black and Brown Queer siblings. Thus, my approach to healing is centered in Queer theory!
In both my personal experiences and professional work, I have seen how healing a supportive presence can be for people who are struggling. I think it is a great privilege to work as a therapist and be able to offer that sort of presence to clients. I have clinical experience working with students who have struggled with various issues in their lives, including complex trauma (emotional, physical, and sexual), depression and anxiety, family/relationship issues, and religion/spirituality. I look forward to working with you wherever you currently find yourself in life and to helping you heal and grow!
Needing a change but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’re feeling stuck, you’ve forgotten how to be kind to or like yourself, or you’re finding yourself drowning in your emotions and don’t know how to reach out to grab a life line. I’m here to help. If you’re feeling sick and tired of working against your own best interests, let’s work together as a team! You can start new and find joy and healing.
As a child (and now), I was gifted with empathy, sensitivity, and the ability to make others feel comfortable and understood. This innate propensity inspired curiosity in humans, suffering, and the mind/heart from a young age. However, it wasn’t until my descent into depression at the age of 20 that I decided being a therapist was my calling. Through my own therapeutic work and journey into darkness, I solidified my desire to become a therapist and bring the same healing I found to others while integrating my continued journey of seeking spiritualty and wisdom. My path has led me to explore various forms of meditation and contemplation, journey on a Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, sit in Lakota sweat lodge, backpack solo across East Africa, attend yoga school in India, sit with Ayahuasca in the Amazon and Iboga in Gabon, and immerse myself in the philosophies of Buddhism and Stoicism. My grounding presence and loving gentleness allows me to specialize in grief and trauma processing. I also specialize in, spirituality, dream work, childhood sexual abuse, psychedelic integration, addictions and men's work. I am trained in EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Psychedelic assisted therapy (Ketamine). I use an IFS and Jungian approach.
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”- Mary Angelou. Whatever your story may be, I hope to create a safe and healing space for you to share it. I believe that being seen and heard fully is an intricate part of the healing process. Together we can tap into your strengths to work through trauma, difficult relationships, and challenges in your life.
Are you the go-to friend, first-generation student, or the oldest child juggling big responsibilities — yet feeling weighed down by anxiety, trauma, or stress in your relationships? I specialize in supporting Hispanic students and high-functioning young adults who might look “fine” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, worried, or uncertain about the future on the inside. Whether you’re dealing with academic pressure, life transitions, or figuring out your identity, you deserve a space where you can be real and find relief. My approach is relational, authentic, and solution-focused. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I blend practical tools with deeper healing work to help you feel better and create the life you want. In our first few sessions, you can expect to identify actionable steps, explore changes in your routines, and feel truly understood. Clients tell me my style is warm, relatable, and centered around what matters most to them. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment — it’s about finding real, sustainable change. I’m passionate about this work because I believe feeling better is possible for everyone; therapy changed my life, and I’m here to help it change yours, too.
