Aranya Edmonds
Pre-Licensed Professional, LAMFT / LAC
As a relational therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families identify the patterns contributing to anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, and relationship challenges.
My approach focuses on strengthening both your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others. Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who feel stuck in cycles of stress, perfectionism, disconnection, or life transitions. Together, we explore the emotional and relational factors shaping your experience and work toward greater clarity, confidence, and emotional stability.
I provide therapy for anxiety, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and personal growth through a supportive, steady, and collaborative process. Clients often describe feeling deeply understood, gaining new insight, and developing tools that support meaningful and lasting change.
If you are looking for a therapist who offers thoughtful, relational, and evidence-informed care, therapy can provide a space to reconnect with yourself and build more fulfilling relationships.

Narrative
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
I provide therapy for gay men and hold licenses in New Jersey, New York, and Utah. Many gay men worry that a therapist might not fully understand their experiences or that they’ll have to hide parts of themselves in session. I once shared those same concerns, and they’re what inspired me to become a therapist who offers affirming, authentic care. Together, we’ll create a supportive, judgment-free space where you can find clarity, growth, and the confidence to live more fully.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, trained at Columbia University, with additional certification as a sex therapist through AASECT and advanced relationship training from The Couples Institute. Over the past two decades, I’ve supported gay men in a variety of settings—including the NYC LGBT Community Center and Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC).

13 Years Experience
Online in Paterson, NJ (Online Only)
Paterson is one of New Jersey's largest and most ethnically diverse cities, a former industrial hub whose silk-milling heritage has given way to a dense and vibrant immigrant community spanning Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Bangladeshi, and Middle Eastern populations, with mental health needs that are correspondingly multilingual and cross-cultural. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the demand for multilingual, culturally competent care—particularly in Spanish and Arabic—significantly outpaces the available supply. St. Joseph's University Medical Center in Paterson provides behavioral health services, and community organizations supplement what is a largely under-resourced formal mental health system. Common therapy concerns include immigration and refugee trauma, family stress, anxiety, depression, and the challenges of maintaining cultural identity and community cohesion across generations in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
