Kaitlyn Martinez

Katie Martinez is a graduate from Healthstaff Training Institute and completed their drug and alcohol counselor course top of her class. She started at Casa Capri as an intern for case management and has now been a full-time case manager since 2022. After being witness to multiple loved one’s battle with the disease of addiction, Katie grew up knowing she wanted to give back to this community. She began her life as a counselor at the age of 13 as a peer counselor in high school, then became a mentor in her early twenties for at-risk youth and is now a certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor. Katie’s goal is to continue to grow in her career path to eventually obtain her CADAC III. She also has extensive experience working with domestic violence victims and veterans who suffer with addiction and how PTSD and C-PTSD effect substance use. She would like to continue that work and, in the future, have part in more programs that cater to these populations and give them the resources they truly need, like Casa Capri. Katie loves to spend her free time playing video games, creating art and spending time with her family.
