About Myriam Martinez

Leadership Coach. Speaker. Mental Health Expert. Confidence Catalyst.

I’m Myriam Martinez—and I help people come home to themselves.

​

With over 20 years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, registered art therapist, and now a sought-after coach and speaker, I’ve helped hundreds of high-achieving people and mission-driven organizations move from burnout, stress, and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and meaningful success.

​

I know the emotional terrain of transformation—because I’ve lived it.

As a Latina, a leader, and a neurodivergent woman who spent years navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachievement, I understand what it’s like to look successful on paper and still feel like you’re not enough. I also know the power of creative healing, nervous system regulation, and emotional intelligence to create real, lasting change.

​

My own neurodivergent discovery—a “spicy combo” of Autism and ADHD (AuDHD)—has been profoundly life-changing. What began as a personal exploration after my daughter’s ADHD diagnosis evolved into a deeper understanding of myself and the many brilliant, sensitive, and driven people I work with.

​

Learning to work with my brain instead of against it has helped me cultivate more compassion, curiosity, and confidence—and that same approach now informs my work with clients. I help neurodivergent and neuro-curious professionals identify their unique traits, manage challenges, and harness their creative and cognitive strengths for greater wellbeing and success.

​

I also support teams and organizations in building cultures that embrace neurodiversity, emotional intelligence, and human-centered communication—because sustainable success begins with understanding how our brains and emotions truly work.

​

That’s why I founded my coaching and consulting practice: to help others rise into their full power—whether that’s in their personal lives or across the boardroom.

My Approach

What sets me apart is how I combine clinical expertise with coaching innovation. I work at the intersection of psychology, creative process, emotional resilience, and self-leadership. Whether I’m guiding an individual through personal growth or facilitating a team experience, I help people break through their blocks, rediscover their brilliance, and build confidence rooted in self-understanding—not self-criticism.

​

I believe in getting out of your head and into your body.
In learning to trust yourself again.
And in building the inner strength to create outer success—on your own terms.
