Dr. Jen H. Martinez is a clinical psychologist and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Suffolk University. Dr. Martinez’s research is focused on addressing the mental health consequences of racial discrimination and adapting interventions to be responsive to the contextual needs of people of color. They are interested in factors contributing to inequities in mental health and treatment (i.e., experiences of discrimination, stigma, systemic oppression), and treatment approaches such as mindfulness-based interventions that can be culturally adapted and applicable to the lived experiences of minoritized groups. Dr. Martinez’s work is part of a larger goal to ensure that high-quality, culturally sensitive evidence-based treatments are acceptable, accessible, and affordable in the service of eradicating mental health inequities, addressing the mental health costs of racism, and increasing representation within clinical psychology. Dr. Martinez’s hobbies include farming, video gaming, football (both playing and watching), and spending time with their family.
