Welcome!
I’m Dr. Lola Martin, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California (PSY#32925). While I have experience working with a broad range of mental health concerns, I specialize in trauma recovery and eating disorders. I also offer psychological assessments for ADHD, as well as third-party reproductive evaluations.
I earned my masters’ and doctoral degrees in the U.S. as well as Canada, and completed my pre-doctoral as well as post-doctoral training in clinical psychology at UCLA. I then continued my career at UCLA for many years, serving as a Psychologist on several interdisciplinary teams, including the Eating Disorders Team, the Trauma Consultation Team, and the ADHD Clinic. I’ve also provided training to UCLA staff and graduate student trainees on eating disorder treatment.
Early in my career, I developed a strong interest in the intersections of trauma and disordered eating. I’ve worked extensively with survivors of sexual assault as well as provided eating disorder treatment across all levels of care—including inpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. Over time, I saw how frequently trauma, anxiety, and disordered eating show up together in people’s lives. My background allows me to work effectively across these and other complex mental health concerns.
In addition to my clinical work, I have taught as an adjunct professor at several academic institutions across Los Angeles, where I have contributed to the training of future mental health professionals. I remain dedicated to lifelong learning and regularly pursue continuing education in my areas of expertise.
I’m especially passionate about working with individuals whose identities—related to culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, body size, or ability—intersect with their mental health experiences.
My approach to mental health care is warm, collaborative, highly flexible and individualized. I believe we all have the strength and resilience necessary to grow, change and live a more fulfilling life.
