About Elizabeth Martinez, LCSW

I’m Elizabeth Martinez, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Embodied Resilience Therapy. I provide immigration mental health evaluations that help clients share their stories with clarity, compassion, and professionalism. My goal is to help you feel seen, supported, and understood throughout this process.

​

As a child of immigrants, I understand firsthand the weight, resilience, and hope that come with building a life across borders. This perspective shapes how I approach every evaluation—with empathy, cultural awareness, and respect for the strength it takes to share your story.

​

My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in deep respect for each person’s experience. I understand how difficult it can be to discuss painful events, especially in the context of immigration. During our sessions, I create a calm and non-judgmental space where you can share your story safely. Every report I write is detailed, clinically sound, and tailored to the needs of your specific case.

​

I specialize in psychological evaluations for asylum, VAWA, U-Visa, and hardship waiver cases. My assessments are written with both empathy and precision—meeting legal and clinical standards while reflecting your humanity and resilience.

​

I’m licensed in Texas and hold advanced training in trauma-focused care and dialectical behavior therapy. My background includes years of working with immigrant and Latinx communities, helping individuals navigate transitions, trauma, and the healing process.
