More about Aldemar
- 30 years' experience
- Male
- LCSW
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), with 25 years of experience in the field of mental health. I also have a degree in Psychology, with I believe compliments my clinical and social work skills to formulate a more complete and wholistic approach to therapy. Additionally I am a Certified Trauma Professional, and use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as my primary theoretical approach to trauma. I believe that each individual brings into his/her therapy experience a unique set of skills, which I encourage to identify through Narrative Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another form of psychological treatment, which I often use with my clients to identify maladaptive behavioral patterns, and replace them with healthy habits to achieve a sense of healing. Finally I believe in the human connection., which is the power to positively influence one another. I welcome you and commend you for taking charge of your life through therapy!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Aldemar is an amazing therapist and a truly wonderful human being. I would highly recommend his expert experience. he is caring, listens to what you have to say, and his responses are clearly well thought out. I couldn't be happier with his help.
Aldemar is a genuine caring human being and I can’t recommend him strongly enough. He has had a huge impact in helping make a change I have struggled with my entire life and feel lucky to have been working with him. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I am still early in my journey but the changes I have experienced with his guidance have been immense. Thank you Aldemar!
I have always been skeptical about opening up to anyone. Whether it’s in a session or via chat, Aldemar has helped me to drop the shield and open up. He has offered helpful advice and has given good tools to use on my own. I am very optimistic for the first time in a very long time.
Aldemar is a great therapist that takes the time to get to know his clients, and helps them dig deep to address internal issues that seem ambiguous or challenging.
Awesome, helpful, patient, listener, insightful and respectful! My first time with online therapy and I scored the perfect match with Aldemar!!
After years of procrastinating by use of therapy because of a previous bad experience with someone who I felt was not a good match Dr. Martinez water with how knowledgeable an accurate assessments are along with his obvious experience and expertise. It’s only been a couple sessions now, and I have made huge steps towards healing.
