Meet Dr. Rebecca Martinez

^{Dr. Rebecca Martinez is a licensed psychologist with a strong commitment to supporting neurodivergent adults.  She works especially with those who may have been overlooked, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood earlier in life. Her practice is deeply attuned to the experiences of individuals discovering their autistic identity in adulthood, often after years of navigating life without a clear explanation for their differences. She is a tenured faculty member at a major research university in the Midwest, where she teaches graduate-level courses in diagnostic assessment, counseling theory, and intervention. Dr. Martinez also supervises the clinical training of master’s and doctoral students, helping shape the next generation of compassionate, evidence-based, and neuroaffirming mental health professionals.}

^{Dr. Martinez brings a unique perspective informed by both clinical expertise and lived understanding of the neurodivergent community. She affirms self-identification as neurodivergent, whether or not someone seeks a formal diagnosis. For those who do, she offers comprehensive adult autism evaluations that provide clarity, validation, and documentation. Licensed to practice psychology in multiple states through interjurisdictional authority, Dr. Martinez makes her services accessible to adults across the United States. She is highly experienced with the DSM-5-TR™ and skilled in recognizing how autism presents in adults without intellectual disability. Whether you are seeking answers, affirmation, or a deeper understanding of yourself, Dr. Martinez offers a respectful, collaborative, and neurodiversity-affirming evaluation process grounded in clinical knowledge and genuine care.}
