Dr. Dana Martinez Clinical Psychologist

Address
32 Church Hill Road, D208, Newtown, CT 06470, United States

I am a licensed psychologist working with adults, children, and families. I help patients identify patterns that keep them stuck, understand the impact of formative relationships, and develop a stronger, more integrated sense of self. My approach is grounded in empathy, thoughtful directness, and collaboration, with a focus on helping individuals express themselves more fully, build effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to this process and strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for exploration and growth. I am bilingual and bicultural in Spanish and English.

As a parent, I understand the fear and anxiety that arise when a child is struggling. I work closely with families to help children and adolescents become less anxious or depressed and more resilient and socially comfortable. When psychological or psychoeducational evaluation is indicated, I provide comprehensive assessments that help parents better understand and advocate for their child.

My areas of specialization include psychological testing, attachment disorders, grief and loss, trauma, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted therapy and integration work.
