Vanessa Martinez is a Clinical Social Work Intern in Las Vegas who provides therapy for children, adolescents, and families navigating behavioral challenges, developmental disorders, and family conflict.

She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2022 and works with clients from young children through older adults.

Vanessa treats children dealing with ADHD, learning disabilities, developmental disorders, and oppositional defiance, using play therapy for younger clients who cannot express themselves verbally. She addresses how behavioral issues affect family dynamics and works with parents developing strategies to respond effectively while managing their own stress and frustration.

Her approach integrates solution-focused therapy to help families identify what’s already working alongside cognitive behavioral techniques for anxiety, depression, and trauma. Vanessa provides culturally sensitive care to Asian communities where family expectations and mental health stigma complicate treatment seeking.

She works with families experiencing grief, relationship conflicts, peer relationship struggles, and the stress of managing children with special needs while building stronger family communication and understanding.
