Kassandra Martinez-Aceves, MS, MFTT, PCCT

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) MFT and PCC Trainee with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. As a woman of Mexican and Puerto Rican heritage and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, I bring both lived experience and clinical insight to my work. I understand firsthand the challenges of navigating high-pressure environments, cultural identity, and the healing process. I specialize in working with adults experiencing serious mental illness, trauma, and forensic or court-involved circumstances. My approach is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and centered on meeting each client where they are with compassion, respect, and authenticity. I believe meaningful therapy is built on trust, cultural humility, and the belief that people are capable of growth and lasting change. My goal is to create a supportive space where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered in their healing journey.
