Susan Martinez, MSW, LCSW
You’ve carried too much for too long and it’s finally time someone sees the you behind the pain.
Healing doesn’t begin with fixing; it begins with being seen. This is who Susan is, and this is why her work matters.
Hello! Bienvenidos!
I am a bilingual therapist, and work with clients who may be struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. I specialize in treating therapists, and those seeking deep healing in their lives. I offer the only animal assisted therapy program in the area.
I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate these challenges with compassion, empathy and expertise.
I believe that healing begins the moment you're seen and heard. With many years of experience in treating trauma, anxiety and mood disorders, I create a safe, collaborative space, where you will feel seen, heard and gain tools to move from feeling stuck and frozen, to healing and thriving.
Together, we’ll make sense of what hurts and grow from it.
A Bit About Susan Martinez
Susan began her own path to healing long before her first client. She started as a veterinary technician—witnessing suffering, loss, and the silent burden of caretakers who often neglect themselves. That experience taught her something essential: the heart that holds for others needs care too.
After retraining as a psychotherapist, Susan devoted years to trauma work, immigration populations, and marginalized communities. She’s walked alongside clients navigating abuse, loss, identity, and cultural tension. She’s learned that healing isn’t a straight line—but it is always possible when held with compassion.
Susan also brings holistic training to her work: she is a Reiki Master and advanced-level yoga instructor. Her understanding spans mind, body, spirit. Her bilingual fluency ensures that Spanish-speaking clients are truly understood, in voice and in nuance.
Working with Susan Martinez means you won’t be rushed, judged, or silenced. You’ll find a safe, compassionate space to unpack, to grieve, to rebuild. Therapy becomes a conversation between your story, your body, your culture, and your resilience.
You’ll experience integration: talk therapy to unpack patterns, K9 therapy with O’Hara to anchor emotional regulation, somatic exploration to feel where your body holds tension, and holistic modalities to support deeper transformation.
Your story is worthy of being heard. Your healing is not too late.
