Therapist

Virtual • Ohio


Welcome to Family Forward Therapy, a Texas-based group practice offering virtual therapy for children, teens, adults, couples, and families. Our team includes therapists with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and areas of focus so we can help connect you with someone who fits your individual needs.

I’m Roberto Martinez, therapist and founder of Family Forward Therapy. I’ve built a team of clinicians with different backgrounds, specialties, and experiences so that clients have more options when looking for the right therapist.

We work with concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, relationship and family challenges, parenting stress, grief, life transitions, and more. Our clinicians also bring experience working with populations and concerns that can sometimes be harder to find specialized support for.

When you schedule through this profile, you are connecting with Family Forward Therapy rather than only one individual therapist. After you book, we may contact you briefly to learn what type of therapy you’re seeking and what you would like help with. Based on your needs, preferences, availability, and insurance, your appointment may be reassigned to another therapist within our practice who may be a better fit.

Our goal is simple: help you get connected with the right therapist without having to spend weeks searching.

If you are caught in a painful tug-of-war with your mother, you may feel like your only options are total compliance or total cutoff. You might find yourself asking, “Am I being too sensitive?” or “If I could just change how I respond, would things finally feel different?”

I work with adult daughters navigating the lasting effects of maternal emotional neglect, enmeshment, criticism, manipulation, and difficult family dynamics. You may have learned early in life to prioritize other people's emotions, keep the peace, or set aside your own needs—and now find yourself struggling with guilt, people-pleasing, boundaries, self-doubt, or relationships that leave you feeling emotionally exhausted.

You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy.With over 12 years of experience in the counseling field, I specialize in helping clients slow down, feel heard, and safely make sense of what they've experienced. My goal is to provide a warm, affirming, and pressure-free space where we can slow down and make sense of what you've experienced and how it continues to affect you.

Whether you're trying to improve a relationship with your mother, create healthier boundaries, or determine what level of contact feels right for you, I won't tell you what decision you should make. Instead, we'll work together to develop the self-trust, emotional awareness, and resilience you need to make choices that are healthy and right for you.

You deserve care that honors all of who you are. I'm Denise, an LPCC in Ohio with 30 years of experience supporting adults through trauma, grief, ADHD, chronic illness, and more. I'm affirming and welcoming to LGBTQIA+, transgender, and neurodiverse clients. I'd love to connect.

My background is in special education, which is why neurodiversity like Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, dyslexia, and learning differences are areas where I have real depth, not just familiarity. I've spent years understanding how neurodivergent brains work - and how the mental health system often misses them. I also work with clients who've been hurt by their church, their pastor, or their faith community - what many people now call "church hurt." This is a profoundly underserved area of care, and my training at Trinity Seminary means I'm not approaching it from the outside. I understand the language, the culture, and the specific kind of grief that comes with spiritual betrayal. I treasure my global experience and look forward to working with multi-cultural people, including immigrants and refugees.
