Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
I am a trauma‑informed therapist with advanced training in sexology who helps adults heal how trauma, culture, and identity shape their relationships, bodies, and sex lives. I work especially well with clients who “hold it all together” for everyone else while feeling anxious, shut down, or disconnected inside. In our work, we make room for the parts of you that have had to stay small or silent around desire, boundaries, faith, family, or reproductive experiences so you can move from survival mode toward more safety, choice, and aliveness in your own life.

Dr. Brittany Jacobson
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Maybe you're exhausted from carrying everything on your own. You want someone to lean on, but trusting people has never felt safe. You tell yourself you should be over what happened by now, but you still feel the impact of the past. You are really hard on yourself, struggle to get close to people, feel on edge even when nothing is wrong, or wonder why the same relationship patterns keep showing up. On the outside, you might look like you're keeping it together, but internally you feel exhausted and alone.
One of the things I love most about being a therapist is helping people finally make sense of and find closure from experiences that have never truly been processed. And to provide the support you’ve always needed but have never truly received. Healing is about helping both your mind and body learn that you don't have to stay in survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and holistic, blending evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind-body techniques to create meaningful, lasting change.
I know you may feel like you can't really rely on anyone and have had to handle everything on your own. Working with me as your therapist, you'll finally have someone in your corner who has your back and will be your biggest advocate. My clients have described me as someone patient and compassionate who will also give direct, helpful feedback that supports their goals; and someone who isn't afraid to bring some well-timed humor into sessions, because healing involves connecting with joy too.
Our work together will be intentional. I come with a personalized plan for each session so you get the most out of your therapy. Everything will be tailored to your unique story, goals, and nervous system. We'll move at your pace while addressing the deeper roots of what's keeping you stuck, so you can build self-trust, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of peace in your daily life. If you're wondering whether we'd be a good fit, I'd love to meet you during a free 15-minute consultation! To schedule a consultation, you can contact me to coordinate a time or book directly on my website if that's easier.

I create a safe place for you to process your concerns and heal. Sessions are conversational in nature.

Our conversations help me to know which techniques are relevant and applicable to your concerns.
