Depth, Healing, and Lasting Change With
Dr. Tony Martinez, Ph.D., LMFT
Sometimes life has a way of choosing our path. For me, therapy wasn’t just a career—it was a calling. Growing up in difficult circumstances taught me the value of resilience, compassion, and truly being heard. Today, I bring that same depth of understanding into my work as a therapist, helping individuals and couples find clarity, connection, and hope—even in their most challenging seasons.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and U.S. Air Force veteran, I offer a grounded, real-world approach to therapy. My experience serving on multiple deployments gave me a deep appreciation for human strength, vulnerability, and the power of healing. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship strain, depression, or anxiety, I create a space where you can dig deep, feel safe, and move forward with purpose.
