MENTAL HEALTH COLLABORATIVE

Hi! I’m Lori Martinez, LMHC, and it is an honor to assist you in achieving increased well-being. My motto is that every person is significant.. and I’m here to help you in any way I can. I’m a native of North Carolina, and Florida is now my home.  I graduated from UNC-Charlotte in 2010 with a Master of Arts in School Counseling and a Graduate Certificate in Play Therapy. I am licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida (#MH 23330) and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the State of North Carolina (#8385). I have been in practice for around 14 years. In March 2024 I began offering community mental health counseling services virtually to individuals in both Florida and North Carolina in my private practice; Azure Counseling and Psychotherapy, PLLC. I provide mental health counseling services to adults, youth, and families in both English and Spanish. In the past, I also served as a school counselor in North Carolina public schools and later as a mental health program specialist for students with special needs.  I offer counseling services primarily from a person-centered approach. My goal is to support each person in attaining greater self-acceptance, personal growth, goal-setting, and achievement through a counseling relationship based on empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard. I strive to listen non-judgmentally, communicate acceptance, and model genuineness through the counseling relationship. Though my primary counseling approach is per- son-centered, I incorporate techniques eclectically from a variety of counseling models, such as cognitive-behavioral, narrative, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt, family systems, and solution-focused brief therapy, among others. In my practice, I offer regularly-scheduled, ongoing counseling services to individuals and families based on diagnostic need and treatment planning. In my spare time I enjoy shell-finding, scuba, studying Thai, and being with family.

Jilian is a passionate licensed mental health counselor specializing in trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy. To Jilian, therapy is a process in which black or white thinking is set aside in favor of exploring everything in between, allowing the client to determine which patterns and beliefs serve them and which can be let go. Jilian has a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University and she is trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and the Gottman Method. She enjoys working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families - identifying each person’s unique resilience. Jilian takes pride in providing her clients with empathy, creativity, cultural sensitivity, and ethical practice. While Jilian brings her knowledge of intergenerational trauma, the brain-body connection, and family systems, she knows her clients also hold power as the experts of their own experience.
