My name is Blanca Martinez and I am a licensed Latina holistic and spiritual therapist, living in Denver, Colorado. I am licensed in both the state of California and Colorado. The fancy title I have earned is Licensed Clinical Social Worker, but I prefer the other title (spiritual therapist). You can read more about my background on my website: www.blancamartinezlcsw.com
I blend my experience working with Latinx in psychotherapy with my deep interest in spirituality and the mind, body, and soul connection. My therapeutic approach is holistic, incorporating intuition, astrology, signs that universe sends you, body awareness, inner child work, and a comprehensive understanding of your past and present experiences.
In my practice I work first generation latinas/latinos seeking change, open to looking at past patterns, but wanting to open up with a therapist who can make them feel comfortable and has a cultural background similar to theirs. Common issues addressed in my practice include the effects of childhood parentification, perfectionism, self-care issues, life transitions, grief, relationship challenges, and other issues unique to the first-generation experience.
As your therapist, I will be your cheerleader and I will also be that person that challenges you and disagrees with you, because without discomfort there is no growth. I balance both humor, gentleness and disagreement in my therapeutic sessions. And yes, I speak Spanglish.
I also offer virtual workshops to make therapy more affordable. Please look at my website for the workshop of the month.
How to work with me: Best way to reach me is through email and please let me know if you are in the state of California or Colorado (due to the time difference). Please note: if you are experiencing suicidal ideation or psychotic symptoms it may be determined that tele-health is not the best option.
