Allison Martinez

Allison Martinez

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I am a licensed clinical social worker, clinical supervisor, and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions.

My career has included work in schools, outpatient counseling centers, and hospital settings, where I supported individuals facing mood disorders, addiction, and psychosis. I’ve worked with clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults—and bring a broad, real-world perspective to my practice.

As a certified trainer in trauma-informed care, I use practical, effective tools to help you better understand your emotional responses, regulate stress, and feel more grounded. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your specific needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, shift patterns, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Clients often tell me that our work together helps them feel less overwhelmed, more self-aware, and better able to cope with life’s challenges. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Some of the feedback that I received from clients are:

"You give me a perspective so I don’t get stuck and I realize I don’t have to solve it all at once

"You have forever affected how I look at things in a positive way"

"You changed how I look at things. I know I can do it, so I achieve it. The re-parenting thing gives me a way to understand people and myself."

"You help people be comfortable in their own skin."

Tiffany Somerville

Tiffany Somerville

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I believe healing happens when people feel genuinely understood and accepted. Whether I'm working with a child processing trauma, a teenager navigating identity issues, or an adult struggling with anxiety, my goal is to create a space where you and/or your child can feel safe, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change. I bring over 10 years of experience in mental health, working with children, teens, and adults. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision, and I am a licensed professional counselor in Illinois and Oregon. Most of my career has been in community mental health where I've supported people from diverse backgrounds navigating a wide range of life stressors and mental health concerns.

My specialty is working with children and adolescents who have experienced trauma. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), one of the most well-researched treatments for children and adolescents struggling with post-traumatic stress. I also have advanced training in child-centered and Adlerian play therapy which can help younger children navigate trauma, anxiety, low self-esteem, impulse control challenges, and other emotional and behavioral concerns. While children and teens are my specialty, I also have experience working with young and middle-aged adults experiencing post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, and other life challenges.
