Nancy Martinez, LCSW

Nancy L. Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New Mexico. She brings five years of clinical therapy experience and a demonstrated commitment to working with a wide range of life challenges. Her training includes a master’s degree in social work with an emphasis on clinical practice and bilingual/bicultural studies, and she completed thesis work within pueblo communities in Mexico, experiences that inform her culturally aware approach.

Martinez has developed a broad working knowledge of therapeutic methods through varied roles in the mental health field and through direct clinical practice. She supports people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression and bipolar disorder, and addictions, and she also addresses concerns such as family conflict, anger, self-esteem, coping with life changes, chronic pain or illness, and process addictions. When requested, she integrates Christian and Biblical perspectives into treatment.

Nancy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored openly. She draws on a range of clinical approaches - including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), existential and Jungian perspectives, mindfulness techniques, and motivational interviewing - to tailor care to each person’s needs. Over the course of her practice she has seen meaningful progress in many people’s lives, and she aims to accompany adults through the process of healing and personal growth with empathy and practical support.
