Motto:Your reputation is what other people think of you. Your character is what you know about yourself.
Paulina Martinez, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Francisco, California, with a specialization in addressing anxiety and fostering resilience among individuals with neurodiversity. With over two decades of experience across multiple therapeutic environments, Paulina founded the Resilience Center for Neurodiverse Individuals and has been an influential voice on platforms such as NeuroDiversity Now.
Diagnosed with ADHD in her mid-30s, Paulina has dedicated herself to exploring the unique obstacles faced by women with ADHD. Her work delves into the underrepresentation and misdiagnosis of ADHD in females and the profound effects this can have on their personal development and mental well-being. An advocate for inclusive therapy practices, Paulina strives to support women in shifting from self-doubt to self-acceptance.
Her insights into ADHD are enriched not only by her professional expertise but also by her personal journey as a woman living with ADHD. In addition to her clinical practice, Paulina has penned several articles and three books aimed at celebrating the strengths of neurodivergent girls and women, encouraging them to embrace their uniqueness and discover the extraordinary within themselves.
In a recent talk at the San Francisco Public Library, Paulina shared stories of triumph over adversity, highlighting the importance of community support and tailored interventions that honor each person's individuality. Her message resonates deeply with audiences, reminding everyone that embracing our differences can lead to remarkable personal growth and societal enrichment.
