Roberta

Roberta Martinez, a compassionate and skilled cognitive behavioral therapist, has made her home in Austin, Texas. With a dedication to evidence-based practices, Roberta empowers individuals to break free from the patterns that hold them back. Through her private practice and engaging community seminars on resilience, she teaches people how to embrace discomfort as a stepping stone for personal growth. Her sessions often include a sprinkle of Spanish phrases, adding a unique cultural touch, and her ultimate aim is to equip her clients with the skills they need so they no longer require her assistance.

Roberta earned her B.A. at the University of Texas at Austin and her M.S. in Clinical Psychology at Baylor University. She obtained her certification from the Anxiety and Depression Association of America in 2018, completed her CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) Certification in 2021, and stands out as one of the leading experts in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Central Texas.

Her insights have been featured in outlets like Mindful Magazine, Psychology Today, and Oprah Daily. Roberta’s debut book, "Embrace the Discomfort: A Guide to Thriving Beyond Your Comfort Zone," hit the shelves in March 2024 and quickly became a go-to resource for those seeking change. It was highlighted by Publishers Weekly as a “must-read” and garnered glowing reviews from readers across the globe.

When not working, Roberta loves hiking the scenic trails around Austin, exploring new recipes with her two children, attending live music events, and indulging in the occasional binge-watch of classic sitcoms.
