Sometimes the hardest things to say are the ones that don't come easily in a second language. I'm Ricardo Martins, a CRPO Registered Psychotherapist, and I offer relational, trauma-oriented therapy in Spanish — a space where you can speak freely, in the language that feels most like home.
Therapy in your own language
For many people in the Latin American and Spanish-speaking community, life in a new country asks you to constantly translate yourself. In therapy, you shouldn't have to. Working in Spanish lets you focus on what matters — what you feel, what you carry, what you hope for — without the extra work of finding the right words in English.
Who I work with
I support Spanish-speaking immigrants, newcomers, and members of the Latino and LGBTQ+ communities facing anxiety, trauma, grief, cultural adjustment, identity questions, and relationship challenges. The feeling of living between two cultures is one I take seriously and understand well.
How I work
My work is relational, integrative, and body-aware. Trained at the Gestalt Institute of Toronto and in intersubjective self-psychology, I blend approaches to fit each person, with particular care around trauma and difficult life experiences. You set the pace; I walk alongside you.
In-person and online
Sessions are available in person in Toronto and securely online across Ontario, making it easier to find support that fits your life.
Let's begin together
Starting is simpler than you think. I offer a free 15-minute consultation — a relaxed conversation to see whether we're the right fit for each other. Reserve your free consultation today.
