Christine Willis Martinez is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Boulder, CO who provides individual, couples, and family therapy. She is trained in mindfulness, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and often incorporates her training in dietetics into her practice, in order to provide a comprehensive mind and body approach. Christine uses a humanistic style that honors the relationship between client and therapist so the client feels safe to explore their process.
Throughout her years in private practice, Christine has worked with various clients who work in the music industry, including musicians, booking agents, and crew. In addition to the stressors and unique dynamics of the industry that Christine has been exposed to in her clinical practice, many of her most valued friendships are with those who have spent decades in the touring and music industry community.

“The only true elegance is vulnerability… if there are any dark, mysterious corners, you override them with your glory, your sense of beauty, your sense of cleanness, your feeling of being regal.”
Victor Hugo
“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.”
I work with self-pay, insurance, and a limited sliding-scale fee if necessary. With an office in downtown Boulder, both in person and virtual sessions are available.
"Working with Christine has been a transformative experience. She creates a safe and nonjudgmental space where I feel comfortable exploring my deepest thoughts and emotions. Her insights and guidance have helped me so much.”
– CASSIE A.
