Elisa Martinez

Vegan Therapist in California

Hi, I’m Elisa.

You’ve accomplished a lot, but still aren’t that sure of yourself. You’ve got high standards and your inner critic always let you know when you fall short. It’s hard to get out of your head and the overthinking, worry and dread pulls you under.

I offer highly-specialized therapy for the thinkers and doers who take on a lot and find themselves on the hamster wheel of anxiety, self-doubt and burnout. My super-individualized approach will help you get you unstuck, tap into what’s possible and find a peace that will surprise you.

Let’s talk in a complimentary consultation about how you can connect with your calmer, confident and more creative self.

I’ll help you heal.

Anxiety

Calm your mind and feel more confident in your ability to handle life. Whether it’s general stress, fearful thinking, panic or phobias, I can help you find the peace of mind that’s been out of reach for too long.

Burnout

Soothe stress, connect with your resilience and be more engaged with life! You’re overworked and overloaded – and I can help.

Trauma

Heal from painful experiences and find freedom from the struggle cycle with the help of a compassionate and trained therapist who really understands trauma – and knows how to heal it.

How therapy with me works

3 steps to relief and change:

Find out if I’m the one.

The therapy relationship is a deeply personal one. You need to feel comfortable with the person you are entrusting with your stuff! Do they have the skill and expertise to effectively help your kinds of challenges? Are they willing to meet you exactly where you’re at with an attuned respect for your individual wants and needs?

I offer a full 30-minute consultation so you can decide if I might be a who you’re looking for. If it’s not me, absolutely no hard feelings! It’s important to me that you have a right-fit therapist and I’m happy to provide referrals of people who I think could help.

Get skilled, non-judgmental support.

We’ll meet regularly to focus on ways to help unburden and empower you. We’ll explore practical tools you can use both in and out of session, as well as heal the root issues that are standing between you and meaningful change.

Find lasting calm. Gain true confidence. Discover YOU.

You’ll feel more grounded, peaceful, have more clarity and be better able to handle the challenges of life as you connect with your healthy, healed self. There’s magic here waiting for you!

Online EMDR Therapy California

While I use a wide range of therapeutic modalities, depending on what is most helpful to each individual, many have found Brainspotting and EMDR to be found extremely helpful and are often requested by clients.

EMDR & Brainspotting, sometimes referred to as “power therapies,” can bring about significant and lasting relief from anxiety, trauma/PTSD, phobias, grief, depression and more:

• Real results in relatively shorter periods of time
• “Rewrites” how your brain thinks about painful experiences
• Promotes in-depth healing and change
• Evidence-based and effective
• Brain-based – doesn’t require years of talk therapy
• Can help release creative potential

Maybe you’ve already tried therapy but still feel like something’s missing. As a trained EMDR and Brainspotting therapist, I’m able to use these specialized approaches to help you tap into your brain’s natural healing potential and break free of anxiety, trauma/PTSD, overwhelm, burnout and negative thinking.

Brainspotting & EMDR can help you…

• Be at peace with your past
• Feel empowered in the present
