Lucia Martin
Hey there! I’m Lucia Martin, and I’m thrilled to be a Licensed Mental Health Counselor right here in sunny Florida.
In my counseling journey, I’ve found that the key to unlocking real change starts with self-compassion.
That’s why I’m all about creating a safe space where we can dive deep into what’s causing those feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression. I am trauma informed trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Therapy (EMDR), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and experienced in deep couples therapy work.
Together, we’ll explore the root causes and figure out personalized strategies to tackle them head-on.
How Can I Support You on Your Journey?
I like to think of my counseling style as a colorful palette, blending mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, and solution-focused techniques. Whether you are a teenager, couple, or individual seeking help, I’ve got your back! Let’s embark on this journey together.
My Approach to Mental Health:
My ultimate goal? To arm you with tools that will last a lifetime and to help you cultivate that inner resilience. Because let’s face it, you’ve got strengths and worthiness in spades, and I’m here to cheer you on every step of the way.
How Do I Practice Self-Compassion?
I remind myself of our common humanity. Every mistake or failure I see as an opportunity for growth and learning. Everyone makes mistakes and sometimes what we learn from them ends up bringing us closer to our achievements. Whenever I catch myself being hard on myself, I try to remember that it’s fruitless because my worth does not depend on what I can do or fail to do. I’m worthy because I exist; so is everyone else.
