Jenna Martinez, LMSW
Psychotherapist
Jenna works with individuals, couples, and teens inclusive of all identities - with particular depth in grief, addiction, and trauma, and a special welcome for entertainers and performers, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients, fellow mental health professionals, and people in recovery.
"Therapy with me looks like you coming into a safe container with your metaphorical bags where, over time and with great care, we'll look at what's in there together and begin processing what we find."
About Jenna
Jenna works with individuals, couples, and adolescents from all backgrounds and identities, with particular specialization in issues with grief, addiction, and trauma.
She has a particular affinity for working with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC folks, creatives/performers, fellow mental health professionals, couples and any human being with the courage to show up for themselves to engage in the work of healing.
Her modalities span CBT and DBT for structure and skills, IFS for the parts of you that carry the weight, motivational interviewing for ambivalence, and somatic processing for what words can't reach yet. Afternoon, evening, and Saturday availability fits working schedules.
How Jenna Works
A safe container first - then structure, parts work, and the body:
CBT & DBT
Structure and skills for regulating what feels unregulatable - especially early in recovery.
IFS
Getting to know the parts of you that carry the grief and did the coping - without judgment.
Motivational Interviewing
Meeting ambivalence with curiosity instead of pressure - change at its real pace.
Somatic Processing
For what words can't reach yet: the body keeps the score, and it gets a voice here.

What Clients Say
"Jenna has been absolutely amazing. She has been instrumental in some of the positive changes I've seen in my life since I began working with her. She is kind and supportive, and yet will still challenge me. She really took the time to understand where the pain points in my life have been and given me actionable ways to approach them. I will forever be thankful she came into my life. I have recommended her to many of my friends, and wholeheartedly extend that recommendation here."
"I love working with Jenna. She's been my therapist for over a year, and I could not imagine a better match. She is present, professional, pleasant to talk to. I feel very comfortable during my sessions and inspired after them. Highly recommend!"
