Riki Martinez - Psychologist in Hollywood, FL

Introduction

My name is Dr. Riki Martinez, and I am a licensed psychologist providing both therapy services and psychological testing. I enjoy working with adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, mood disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder), relationship issues, emotion regulation difficulties, personality disorders, addiction, and trauma, while offering a compassionate and integrative approach to therapy. The framework for therapy I aim to create includes a commitment to empathy, culturally-competent care, and a collaborative working relationship. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing and growth, and by fostering a safe and nonjudgmental environment, I focus on empowering clients to explore and overcome the barriers impacting their daily lives.

In addition to therapeutic services, I am experienced in conducting psychological and forensic evaluations for adults, offering a thorough and nuanced understanding of clients’ needs. I hope to help clients achieve their personal goals and find fulfillment and happiness in their lives. I am devoted to supporting clients on their journey toward improved mental health and well-being, aiming to help each individual navigate the complexities of their mental health with confidence and resilience.

In our initial sessions, we'll focus on understanding what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain. Early sessions are about building trust and safety. You will have the chance to ask questions, clarify expectations, and help shape the direction of our work. My goal is for you to feel heard and supported while we collaborate on a plan that addresses immediate concerns and sets a foundation for longer-term growth.

I offer both therapeutic and psychological testing services. My experience includes forensic psychology and working with adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, mood and personality disorders, relationship issues, emotion regulation difficulties, addiction, and trauma. My approach is integrative and I draw from a range of evidenced-based practices to create a flexible plan that evolves as your needs change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to healing and growth, and my priority is to create a nonjudgmental and supportive space where we can work through challenges in a way that feels meaningful and manageable for you.

My decision to become a psychologist stems from curiosity about human behavior, including how people make sense of their experiences and their ability to build resilience when facing adversity and life's challenges. Psychology allows me to integrate scientific understanding with genuine human connection, helping clients discover their own strengths and potential.
