Expertise
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Arizona State University graduate with 12 years of experience working in academic, community, medical, crisis, and integrated mental health settings. I have over a decade of experience conducting culturally sensitive research with at risk communities and facilitating individual and group therapy for children and adults across the lifespan. I've gained valuable experience training child welfare personnel and foster/adoptive families, medical residents, and community college/ university students. Lastly, as a first generation doctoral student who started at the community college myself I've learned to navigate the systems of higher education, mental health agencies, and the STEM field from my position as a LGBTQ+ Latina. To see more of my work and training experiences visit my Linked In (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vmartinezmorales/).
My Personal Experience
My personal motto is "From Pain to Purpose", my journey has not been easy and I have focused on using my experiences to fuel my dedication, persistence, and sensitivity to the unique challenges individuals, communities, and organizations face. I was born a substance exposed newborn in the 80's when little was understood about the long term effects of prenatal drug exposure. I was placed in the child welfare system and eventually adopted by my monolingual Spanish speaking Mexican immigrant grandmother. This was my initiation into becoming a cultural broker. I would translate for her at my child welfare meetings. I would navigate parent teacher conferences. I would assist her with negotiating the scope of her work and pay as a personal housekeeper. I would advocate for us during our experiences with doctor's offices and businesses. All the while I observed how these different systems treated us and learned to make strategic pivots to attempt to maximize our opportunities for success. Sometimes I failed and it hurt. I dedicated myself to my education and dream of becoming a counseling psychologist and throughout my process I have returned back to each place where I have received help and paid my debt in culturally-sensitive community work. My promise is this: I will share what I've learned so that others may not have to go through the pain of stumbling upon this knowledge themselves especially not while feeling alone.

Personal and professional coaching involve a series of personal or remote meetings to understand your strengths, values, and vision for change.
