​Lower Cost & ​Sliding Scale Services

We are excited to offer services provided by graduate psychology students who are supervised by Dr. Martinez. Initially, Dr. Martinez works with students to review assessment results and co-create a treatment plan for each new client. Once therapy is underway Katherine Martinez works with the students twice weekly to plan for each session, and then review and revise how each session proceeds. Katherine is intricately involved to ensure both the client and student's needs are met in full and that therapy is successful for each client. Fees are set on a sliding scale of need from $50-$100 per 50 minute session.
