Marlee Martens, LCSW

Hello, my name is Marlee Martens. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over seven years of experience treating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, adjustment disorder, self-esteem issues, trauma, self harm, family system issues, grief, and other issues. My treatment philosophy is a non-judgmental, warm approach focusing on utilizing evidence-based interventions while providing compassion and empowering clients through a strengths-based lens.

I received my Masters in Social Work from San Diego State University. I have experience working with children, teens, adults and families in various settings, such as schools, residential treatment facilities and group practice therapy. I use an integrative approach of CBT, DBT, strength-based approaches, behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and others. My intention as a therapist is to meet you wherever you are in life, help you identify and utilize your strengths and come alongside you to help you move forward towards what you are seeking.

I was born and raised in San Diego and feel extremely lucky to call this beautiful city home. I love spending time with my family and friends and my rescue dog Winnie. I love spending time outdoors, going to the zoo and I love to bake as well.
