Martina Savedra

San Diego, CA
LMFT
Courage, dear hearts, as life presents its surprises and, in time, clients will manage each one with bravery. Families can push boundaries, relationships can challenge individuals, and careers can stretch them thin. Negative self-thoughts can keep them trapped in their minds, while old patterns may feel like a roller coaster of emotions. Past traumas often intrude on the present; social injustices can strain communities, and the battle against gender and cultural inequalities can be exhausting. Recognizing when self-care plummets, clients may forget to prioritize themselves. However, seeking therapy today is an investment in their well-being, and they are not alone. When an authentic and positive therapeutic connection is formed, they can explore their family of origin, process lived experiences, discover new insights, and embrace small behavioral shifts that better serve them. A holistic approach to healing assists in developing coping skills suited to their lifestyle. The privilege of being a therapist comes with the honor of joining clients on their healing journey. With an empathetic nature, compassionate heart, and authentic self, Martina Savedra fosters a safe environment for exploration, empowerment, and the pursuit of living their best lives. She welcomes the opportunity to learn each client's story and provide the support they need for what lies ahead.
