Therapy and Nutrition Counseling in Austin, Texas

Welcome! I know that searching for a therapist can feel overwhelming, but I just want to take a moment to say—you’re already doing something amazing for yourself. Reaching out for support is a huge step, and I truly admire you for taking it.

​

I’m Amber Martinez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I specialized in mental health and substance abuse. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and for the past five years, I’ve dedicated my career to working with children and adolescents in the mental health field.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from various evidence-based modalities while deeply valuing psychodynamic processes—the ways our past experiences shape our present thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I aim to help clients gain insight into their inner world, fostering self-awareness and lasting change. I also integrate elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to provide tailored support that meets each individual where they are.

​

Beyond therapy, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my golden retriever puppy, taking hikes and long walks in Austin parks. I also love engaging in enrichment activities with my cats, especially when they explore their outdoor patio. Supporting animal welfare is a passion of mine, and I’m always looking for ways to contribute to nonprofit organizations that help animals in need.

​

Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to walk alongside you and help you navigate the path ahead. Let’s take this next step together.
