Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
Sexual orientation and gender roles are core aspects of who we are, shaping how we experience ourselves and relate to others. Exploring and accepting these parts of your identity can be complex, influenced by personal experiences, societal expectations, and internalized stigma. My therapy offers a safe, affirming space to explore your identity, confront challenges, and work toward living authentically.
We focus on self-acceptance, helping you understand and articulate your sexual orientation and gender identity while addressing societal pressures that may cause shame or confusion. Therapy also supports your relationships, guiding you in setting boundaries, expressing yourself, and fostering connections that honor your identity.
Through this work, clients often experience increased confidence, reduced shame, and a stronger sense of self, leading to greater fulfillment and authentic living. My approach is empathetic, affirming, and client-centered, drawing on extensive experience with LGBTQ+ issues to help you embrace your strengths and navigate your journey with confidence.

Full Being Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LPC, LCSW, LAPC
We provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals navigating identity development, relationships, family dynamics, mental health concerns, and the impact of stigma or discrimination. We recognize that LGBTQ+ experiences are shaped not only by personal journeys, but also by social, cultural, and systemic factors that can affect safety, belonging, and well-being.
Our clinicians create a space where clients can show up fully and authentically—without needing to educate, defend, or minimize their experiences. We support adolescents and adults exploring coming out, self-acceptance, gender identity, intimacy, grief, faith-related conflict, and resilience in the face of marginalization.
LGBTQ+ counseling at Full Being Services is strengths-based, culturally responsive, and rooted in affirmation—supporting healing, empowerment, and wholeness across every stage of life.
