Jeff, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, provides telehealth counseling for Bloom Behavioral Health Partners. He earned his MSW from the University of Michigan, which is also where his interest in therapy was born during his undergraduate years, majoring in Speech and Drama.

His early professional experiences included working with inmates in a prison for three years, where he first used what later became one of his favorite approaches to therapy: humor. “I joked around with the inmates and found it was the best approach for many of them,” he says, adding, “I even snuck in a copy of ‘Airplane!’ as contraband!” Humor therapy has proven effective for clients on the outside as well. “I use humor in my sessions to take the focus off the negative,” he says.

In practice for more than 50 years, Jeff specializes in helping people with substance abuse disorders and their families. He also provides couples counseling and general mental health therapy. 

In addition to humor therapy, Jeff also employs Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, which operates under the belief that our behavior is controlled by our thoughts, an approach he finds practical and relatable; and Positive Psychology. He believes strongly in continuing education and regularly reads up on the latest information about the ever-changing world of therapy.

Analicia Martinez believes that our youth hold the power to shape the future, but often, their needs are overlooked. She is dedicated to being a part of the healing process for children, adolescents, and their families. Analicia recognizes that taking the first step toward therapy is a significant achievement and a powerful reinforcement of positive change. She understands that by participating in therapy, clients are not just investing in the well-being of the individual but also in the unity of the family and the potential for future generations.

Analicia specializes in trauma therapy, understanding that trauma manifests in various forms and can present a wide range of symptoms. She knows that addressing trauma can be challenging, but offers a safe, confidential space where big feelings can be shared, and barriers can be overcome. Her sessions are designed to be engaging and productive, incorporating toys, games, and creative worksheets to facilitate healing in a supportive environment.

Analicia emphasizes that finding a therapist who feels right for the client is crucial. To start, she offers to schedule an initial session to get to know each other and discuss how they can work together effectively. Additionally, she is open to exchanging emails to begin this journey and outline the next steps.
Analicia looks forward to the opportunity to be a part of her clients’ healing process and to support them and their families on this transformative path.
