Alice Hamrick-Martinez, LPC

Alice Hamrick-Martinez is an anxiety and OCD therapist who helps teens and adults break free from general anxiety, chronic worry, people pleasing tendencies, negative thought patterns, panic, and compulsive behaviors. She works with teens, college students, and adults who feel trapped by overthinking, perfectionism, performance pressure, and anxiety patterns that interfere with school, relationships, and work.

As a specialist in anxiety therapy, Alice treats:

• Generalized anxiety and chronic worry
• Perfectionism and performance anxiety
• Negative thought patterns
• People pleasing
• Social anxiety
• School avoidance and academic stress
• Panic attacks and panic disorder
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Alice’s approach is structured, evidence-based, and goal-oriented. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) — the gold-standard treatment for OCD — to help clients gradually face fears, reduce avoidance and compulsions, and retrain anxious thought patterns. Treatment is collaborative and focused on measurable progress, with clear plans designed to reduce anxiety symptoms effectively.

Beyond behavioral strategies, Alice incorporates insight-oriented and relational work to explore attachment patterns, core beliefs, and emotional experiences that contribute to anxiety and low self-worth. She helps clients challenge unhelpful narratives, strengthen emotional regulation, and build lasting resilience.

Alice creates a steady, supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel safe while doing meaningful, challenging work. Her goal as an anxiety therapist is not only symptom relief, but helping teens and adults develop confidence, flexibility, and freedom from anxiety-driven patterns so they can live more grounded, empowered lives.
