Austin Martinez, PsyD, is a recent doctoral graduate of Loyola University Maryland and a Registered Psychology Associate of Durwood Whitten, PhD.
Austin is returning to Complete Wellness after being a psychology associate with the practice from 2022 – 2024. Austin plays a major role in the Complete Wellness Assessment Center, providing comprehensive psychological testing for individuals across the lifespan. He integrates knowledge about one’s unique life experiences with evidence-based data in order to help clients understand how they think or feel. Austin strives to help clients feel supported by being collaborative and transparent throughout the assessment process. He prioritizes that results are explained clearly and understood in a way that supports growth, insight, and recommendations that can facilitate active self-involvement on the path of mental wellness. He is also seeking to expand testing services at Complete Wellness to include psychoeducational assessment that can support appropriate academic accommodations for school-aged individuals.

Therapeutically, Austin has worked with many different individuals and has particular interest in supporting those experiencing addiction. He has past experiences of working with those who are at different points in their recovery journey, including an inpatient treatment facility for those who were entering rehabilitation services as well as those involved in long-term medication-assisted treatment. Austin has also gained experience in a variety of different state psychiatric hospitals in treating individuals with persistent mental illness and co-occurring disorders. Prior to returning to Complete Wellness, Austin completed his 12-month doctoral internship at Central Regional Hospital in Butner, NC, which is a state psychiatric inpatient hospital providing services to those with serious mental illness through individual therapy, psychological assessment, and DBT group therapy.
Austin values the meaningfulness of the therapeutic relationship and seeks to meet clients where they are in their mental health journey. He integrates motivational interviewing with CBT, ACT, and other therapeutic approaches that aim to emphasize genuineness, authenticity, and courage in processing the many life experiences that impact on how one navigates their world.
