Professional statement

Cindy Martinez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Approved Supervisor who works with young adults and adults across Texas, Florida, and Louisiana. Many of her clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down—used to overthinking, holding their feelings in, or putting everyone else first. Whether you're navigating a big transition or simply longing to feel like yourself again, she offers a space to slow down, reconnect with your emotions, and explore what a more grounded, authentic life could look like.

Her approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. She believes therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, not an interrogation. Together, you'll notice patterns, make sense of your experiences, and build practical tools you can carry beyond the therapy room—all rooted in curiosity, self-compassion, and shared humanity.

With nearly a decade of experience across nonprofit organizations, schools, inpatient settings, and private practice, she has supported people through a wide range of emotional needs, including higher-risk concerns. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and continues ongoing training to offer thoughtful, evidence-informed care.

She practices at Still Water Therapy, a small, client-centered practice in the Clear Lake/NASA area of Houston. She offers in-person sessions at 1322 Space Park Dr, Suite C185, and secure telehealth for clients in Texas, Florida, and Louisiana, with a caring administrative team to make getting started feel easy and stress-free.


Message to clients

Reaching out for therapy takes courage, and I want you to know you don't need to have it all figured out before we begin. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, caught in constant overthinking, or simply sensing that it's time for something to change, we'll take that first step together. My role is to help you make sense of what you're experiencing and, at a pace that feels right for you, find a path forward that truly fits your life.

More than anything, I hope to offer you a space where you can show up exactly as you are—without judgment and without pressure to have all the answers. Therapy can be both supportive and gently challenging, and my goal is to walk alongside you as you build confidence, discover practical tools, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. Wherever you are in your journey, I'm here to support and guide you, every step of the way.
