Hello, my name is Rosemary Martinez and I'm a licensed professional counselor in Arizona. I specialize in helping people work through and heal from past trauma that has impacted their daily lives. I use modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and DBT to reprocess and heal the entire person. I hope to have the opportunity to help you. I try to get the whole picture of the person I'm working with. I don't just want to know the trauma I want to understand how it is impacting your daily living and how we can work together to improve that. I use modalities such as CBT, EMDR, and DBT among others, to treat the person, not the diagnosis.

My ideal client might struggle with depression, trauma, or anxiety. They will be goal-oriented and driven, willing to be vulnerable. Their goals would be to decrease feelings of depression or anxiety. I work with clients to identify past unresolved trauma, often an underlying issue contributing to one's current negative or dysfunctional behaviors and feelings.

You feel worthless. No matter what you do, you can't shake what happened to you. You feel that what has happened is your fault. If only you had done something different or if only you weren't who you are. You feel completely alone and that no one understands you. You feel like there is something inherently wrong with you. You keep striving for perfection, trying to please everyone, and you try so hard to pretend that everything is okay, but you just can't hold it together anymore. It has finally caught up to you. You don't know how you got to this place but you know you want so much more.

Female Therapists
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
