About Me

Nereida B. Martinez, LCSW

Hello, my name is Nereida B. Martinez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of Texas to provide psychotherapy services.  I provide therapy for any location in Texas virtually and in-person in Houston, TX.  I have over 16 years of experience as a therapist and over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in different settings including community clinics, nonprofit organizations, the criminal justice system and in private practice. I believe my experience in these diverse settings has helped me understand individual, social, cultural and spiritual concerns in a more meaningful way. I have helped individual adults, teens and children cope with and heal from depression, anxiety, trauma (PTSD), adjustment, life changes, ADHD, parenting, relationships, and other concerns.  Additionally, many of my clients seek and have experienced personal and spiritual growth through their therapy journey.   

My goal as your therapist is to guide you, support you and encourage you to take the steps needed to help you feel happier and meet your mental health and life goals while overcoming the obstacles in your life. I focus on providing a client-centered, accepting and safe environment during our sessions. I use techniques and modalities from different types of therapies, and I tailor the therapy to your individual needs.

Congratulations on taking the first step! I look forward to working with you and walking with you on your journey of change, self improvement and healing.
