William Martinez, LCSW

Licensed Therapist

A bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings over 20 years of experience of working with individuals, families and couples who are suffering or who are feeling “stuck” in life. William works alongside people to help them manage or resolve depression, anxiety, trauma and interpersonal problems.  His education and training take root in understanding one’s capacity to regulate emotions within the everyday challenges and struggles of life. Whether your interpersonal challenges began as a result of trauma, abuse or challenges with regulating your emotions, William offers an environment where you can be heard non-judgmentally in an attempt to better understand your emotions, thoughts and behaviors; to learn new skills; and to explore whether change or acceptance will alleviate your pain and help you move forward.  As early as college, William received a bachelor’s degree in conflict management, which inevitably helped him understand fundamentals principles in problem solving and conflict resolution as a way to increase safety in communities.  This provided him with a deeper understanding of how people cope with stress in the context of their social environment, communities and society, to live a life worth living. He believes that therapy is a place to gain more awareness and perspective, and to recognize one’s strengths to help them overcome difficult transitions in life (death, unexpected changes, and family crises). Ultimately, he believes that successful treatment involves learning new ways of interacting with people that result in positive outcomes and gaining tools to better accept or change the undesirables’ realities of life which could cause suffering.
