Anais Martinez

Hello! I am a bilingual, bicultural Licensed Professional Counselor who earned a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology with a minor in Latinx Mental Health studies at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Previously, I have worked in community mental health with children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and families. I have experience working with clients learning to overcome all types of challenges such as Depression, Anxiety, Behavioral issues, Trauma related disorders, Mood and Personality disorders, as well as Life transitions. As a therapist I prioritize building trust, honesty, and authenticity. I believe the client is the expert in their own lives, and so I utilize multiple treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Play Therapy. My approach is rooted in a client centered approach, wherein every individual’s needs are unique and require different blending approaches. I believe we are all natural storytellers, which is the reason I take the time to openly listen to your unique stories and foster a safe, non-judgmental environment to recreate healthier narratives in hopes for healing and interpersonal growth. I am excited to join you in your journey by providing a culturally sensitive and personalized blend of therapeutic approaches that will best fit your needs.
