Bienestar Starts With You
Our Vision for TEENS THROUGH BIENESTAR
The Bienestar Program at One Step A La Vez is designed to support the mental, emotional, and physical well-being of youth and their families in our community. Recognizing that many of the young people we serve face significant barriers such as poverty, trauma, discrimination, and limited access to resources, Bienestar provides a safe space where they can receive the care and support, they need to thrive.
Through culturally responsive services, Bienestar offers access to counseling, peer support groups, wellness workshops, and case management tailored to the unique needs of teens. The program also focuses on building coping skills, fostering resilience, and promoting healthy lifestyle choices that encourage long-term well-being.
By integrating mental health awareness, prevention strategies, and holistic support, Bienestar helps youth and families strengthen their sense of self, improve relationships, and develop the tools necessary to overcome challenges. Our goal is to ensure every young person feels seen, heard, and valued, and is equipped to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life.

I’ve been working with children and adolescents for over 15 years. I believe in providing youth with a safe space where they feel respected and empowered. I'm compassionate and strive to guide and support clients with embracing their strengths to find their unique path. I'm also empathetic and see each client with openness and deep understanding. Outside of work, I greatly enjoy spending time with my family. I'm a mother of two beautiful girls and watching them grow has been a true blessing for me. I like to get lost in deep conversations and luckily, I have a partner that takes that dive. I also enjoy exercising, meditating and reading. I'm free spirited and I like to say that “I’m a kid at heart” creating fun will always be a part of me. Lastly, kindness is an important value, I believe the more we practice kindness, the more the human connection is an unstoppable force.

Hello! My name is Nieves Martinez, and I am a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. For the past 17 years, I have been providing therapeutic services to youth and their families in Ventura County, primarily Ventura, Santa Paula, and Fillmore. I have been able to provide support to children and adolescents who have struggled with trauma, life adjustments, grief, depression, and anxiety among other challenges in life. I was born and raised in Santa Paula and I feel extremely grateful and honored to be able to work with youth from my community and nearby cities in order to inspire positive change and promote healing. I use an integrative theoretical approach with an emphasis in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and other evidence-based therapies. As a therapist, it is my honor to be part of my client’s healing process as they allow me to support and walk with them on their journey.
