Kristen Martinez is a licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) who enjoys working with children and families of all ages and stages of life. Kristen strongly believes in the power of positive encouragement and emphasizes the importance of identifying strengths throughout the healing journey. Kristen initially became interested in social work after encouragement from her family and high school art teacher. As a teenager, Kristen volunteered at a local homeless shelter and dreamed of using her passion for art to help others. Kristen now encourages creative expression to help convey difficult feelings and emotions associated with trauma and adverse life events. Kristen obtained her undergraduate education at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor (UMHB) and later moved to the DFW-area to pursue graduate school at the University of Texas in Arlington (UTA). Although Kristen has worked with parents, children, and youth for several years she considers herself a "lifelong learner" and is always looking for new opportunities to professionally (and personally) grow. In her spare time, Kristen enjoys walking her dog, spending time with friends/family, exploring neighboring cities and towns, and finding unique restaurants and shops. Kristen believes anything can become an adventure with the right team, and is looking forward to furthering her social work journey with the great opportunities and people found at the CAC of Central Texas.
