Teresita Martinez

I am an experienced mental health counselor who works with adults from diverse backgrounds who are looking to improve their mental health and live more value-driven lives.

I am a dedicated therapist with a master's degree and 15 years of experience in counseling. I am licensed in both Florida and New York. Throughout my career, I have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, offering support tailored to their unique needs. While my expertise spans from substance abuse & recovery to struggles with phase of life changes; I am currently focusing on helping adults who seek to improve their overall mental health and live a value-driven life.

My approach is centered on fostering personal growth, resilience, and meaningful change for those looking to align their lives with their core values.My approach to therapy is centered on building a strong, trusting relationship with clients while holding them accountable to their behaviors and self-identified objectives. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as the foundation of my work, helping clients challenge unhelpful thoughts and commit to meaningful actions. Additionally, I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. My goal is to empower clients to grow, stay aligned with their values, and make lasting changes in their lives.

Clients can expect to gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors. They can expect to feel heard, and encouraged to make changes toward their goals. Clients can expect to learn skills they can take with them wherever the future takes them and to have a change in perspective that will ultimately challenge them to grow and overcome obstacles.
