EMDR therapy that helps you heal your sh*t—without spending years in therapy.
In-person therapy in the Bay area; virtual sessions anywhere in CA.
Go from replaying every awkward conversation at 2 a.m., snapping at your kid for no reason, and secretly googling “am I broken?”...
… to feeling grounded, clear, and really f*cking good in your own skin again.
I use EMDR to help your brain unstick the memories and beliefs keeping you in survival mode.
You don’t have to talk in circles for years—you get deep, effective healing that actually changes how you think, feel, and show up in your life.
I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping people move from surviving to thriving—and EMDR is my favorite way to get there.

Limited spots available as I keep a small case load to ensure quality.
What happens if you don’t deal with it?
→ You keep snapping at people you love, then hating yourself for it
→ You spiral over things that “shouldn’t” bother you
→ You stay stuck in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and pretending you’re fine
→ Your anxiety runs the show, and rest feels impossible
→ The trauma you’ve buried keeps leaking out sideways—in relationships, in parenting, in your body
→ You know something needs to change, but you’re scared to face it alone
A few of the concepts we’ll explore …
-
→ EMDR isn’t talk therapy—it’s brain-based, research-backed, and gets straight to the root
-
→ You don’t have to tell your whole trauma story to heal it (seriously)
-
→ Your brain wants to heal—it just needs the right conditions
-
→ That memory that hijacks your nervous system? EMDR can help you put it in the past
-
→ You’re not “too sensitive”—your brain’s been in survival mode for too long
-
→ Perfectionism? Often just trauma wearing a blazer
-
→ EMDR works for anxiety, depression, grief, and more, not just trauma
-
→ You don’t have to cry in every session to make progress
-
→ EMDR helps rewire negative beliefs like “I’m not enough” or “I’m not safe”
-
→ You don’t need 100 coping skills—you need to heal the sh*t that’s causing the symptoms
-
→ It’s okay if you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t stick—this is different
-
→ Teens benefit from EMDR too (and no, they don’t have to “open up” on command)
-
→ You can actually feel lighter after sessions, not heavier
-
→ Postpartum rage and numbness? EMDR can help
-
→ Your brain can learn safety—even if it never has before
-
→ EMDR isn’t magic, but it can feel like it when your triggers stop triggering you
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Lizette Martinez, LCSW.
I became a therapist after losing my brother to suicide, and I’ve been helping people heal ever since.
I’m also a mom, a former chef, a terrible plant parent, and a big believer in being a full human in the therapy room.
My clients appreciate that I don’t sugarcoat things—and I don’t expect you to.
We laugh, we cuss, we cry when we need to—and we get sh*t done.
