Who we are

At River Cadence Therapy, our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone has the strength to navigate their journey. We are a private practice founded on the principles of resilience, purpose,
and compassionate guidance.

My name is Amanda Martinez and I founded this practice after a twenty-year career in the military, which included three combat tours. My own journey with trauma and the guiding presence of my service dog, Francis, taught me a powerful truth: that a steady, inner rhythm can transform a turbulent current into a source of enduring strength.

My unique background in both military service and a Master of Social Work gives me a grounded, empathetic perspective. I understand the weight of challenging life transitions and the importance of finding a safe space to heal.

River Cadence Therapy is more than a name; it's a promise. We are a place where you can find your footing, discover your cadence, and move forward on your path with confidence.
