Leona Martinez MA, MFTC
Marriage & Family Therapist
Human beings are hardwired for attachment and connection. We thrive when we
feel like someone understands our struggles and supports us, with no
judgement or assumption. I believe strongly in the power of relationship and
know that we feel like we are capable of much more when we have people
around us that believe in us.
I work hard to make sure my clients feel like they
have choices and options into turning into the people and building the lives, that
they believe are the best representation of themselves. I use a variety of different
therapeutic modalities and techniques because no one person is the same as another, and no
therapeutic experience is either.
It would be an honor and privilege to hear your
story and help you work towards your goals in your life, because everyone needs
someone sometimes.
A little about me personally, I am a born and raised Coloradoan. I have lived up and down the
Front Range. I love my dogs, concerts, and being an aunt to a rather large brood of tiny
humans.
“Connection- The energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued;
when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and
strength from relationship.” – Brené Brown

What Clients are saying about Courtney....
"If you are in need of a counselor with excellent communication skills, empathy, problem solving, acceptance and diversity, multicultural competency, and flexibility, you are in great hands with Barber Family Counseling." -Anonymous Client
"This lady (Courtney) has counseled me off so many ledges I’ve lost count! She’s not only kind and empathetic, but able to really give practical tools and steps towards healing. It doesn’t feel like you’re talking to a doctor, but a friend.. and the office at Barber Family Counseling is simply beautiful."
-Anonymous Client
"Courtney is a wonderful coworker and cofacilitator. She is a very direct communicator, so I and clients never have to wonder what she is thinking. She is very helpful for clients who need structure, as she is comfortable being solution-focused and goal-oriented. Her clients individually and in groups see results! Especially with teens, she is wonderful with "resistant" clients because she is able to see through the facade, speak to the person's reality and draw out their own internal motivation to grow."

I prayed for a miracle and I believe that God sent us Courtney. She has a special gift that allows her to reach teens in a way that transforms their lives. I was completely at the end of my rope with my teen. My sweet, kind adorable baby had entered the dark realm of "teenhood", and I did not know how to handle it. Courtney was able to uncover the root of her anger and open the doors of communication for both of us. Courtney gave me hope, peace and my sweet baby girl back! She was the answer to my prayers. I will never be able to thank her enough.
-Anonymous Client
"Courtney has been my compass as I navigate through life. She is compassionate, professional, and truly cares about each of her clients. She tailors her approach to each client so you never feel like a case study, or that you are getting a “cookie cutter’’ treatment. Courtney is the first counselor that actually listened to me and addressed my concerns. I always feel better after I meet with her. She has truly been my life line, and I cannot recommend her enough!"
