I am Norma Martinez, a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Idaho. I am also a national certified counselor (NCC). I received Master of Arts in Counseling degree from Boise State University (2019).
I am the owner of Nourished Minds Counseling, LLC where I provide counseling, via telehealth, to clients living in Idaho. I also offer coaching and consultation services.
Although I work with clients from all walks of life, as a Latinx woman, I am passionate about working with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community.
My therapeutic modality focuses on healing from a storytelling and strengths-based approach. Strengths-based does not mean invalidating thoughts and feelings of oneself for the sake of positivity, rather it allows you the space to explore and recognize the strengths that exist despite feeling or thinking a certain way. I value humor, transparency, and authenticity in a counseling relationship. Each session, I will show up as myself which may be different than what has been traditionally portrayed as a therapist. I view the counseling relationship as a collaborative approach. I believe that each individual has tools within themselves to heal, and how healing can continue with community support.
If you’re interested in scheduling a consultation with me to pursue counseling, coaching, or consulting, please send an appointment request.
