I've only had two sessions with David so far, but we chat in between and he's been incredibly supportive. From sharing funnies when I need a laugh, to helping me work through tough emotional situations, David has been really helpful these last few weeks. I'm looking forward to more sessions with him!

David has the experience needed to offer insight and points of view that I am not considering, which helps me think different about the solutions I seek.

I have seen therapists before, on and off throughout my adult life and I can honestly say that David gets to the heart of the matter. He makes me look at situations and myself in different ways. Every session sends me off thinking of things differently. It is not always easy to be confronted with things you may have overlooked or not considered, but it sure is introspective and mind changing. He has given me hope in places I was thinking there was no hope left to make changes in my life. He always does it so gently and compassionately. I am so glad I chose him.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance of David. He is kind and also inspiring person. His belief in the power of kindness and its impact on others' lives and the world resonated deeply with me.
I feel that I am understood. David offers practical advice on setting and achieving my goals, which has been helpful.
Above all, I feel safe and comfortable talking to him. His approach makes it easy to open up and discuss my thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking a compassionate and effective therapist.

David was able to help me start to realize things about myself that I think I was trying to stay away from, and it definitely helped me for the better. His approach is a bit forward, but I think that’s appropriate for the situation that I was in. I really was able to understand and carry out the changes David suggested and I think others can benefit from having his assistance as well!

David is calm, timely and shares great perspectives. I feel like I can be myself with no judgement. I felt like I had great insight but from the very first session, he’s helped me understand a different point of view on my own life, a more helpful point of view. His “homework” for the week has also been helpful for my relationship and career, every time. He’s also super flexible with my insane schedule. Would highly recommend.

Mr. Martinez is the best! He and I have been working together for a couple of months now and each session has brought me better insight about myself and has been helping me with my relationship and past traumas. He listens to you, provides excellent advice, and professional guidance. Im very fortunate that I matched with him early on my therapy journey as I know I can trust him with life’s hardest parts. He’s very encouraging and motivating and actually cares about your progress. He will check up on you to see how you’re doing regardless if you’ve signed up for sessions. Overall, Mr. Martinez is a great therapist and I recommend him to anyone as he tries his best to understand your situation to provide you the best treatment possible. You wont regret having him as your therapist, I guarantee it.
