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 helping people recover from trauma and eating disorders. I also provide psychological assessment for ADHD and third party reproductive evaluations.
I received my masters’ and doctoral degrees in the US and Canada. In addition to private practice, I work as a Psychologist at UCLA where I am a member of the UCLA multi-disciplinary eating disorders team, the trauma consultation team, and the ADHD clinic. I have provided trainings to UCLA staff and graduate student trainees on eating disorder treatment.
My research and clinical interests in eating disorders and in trauma began early in my career. Throughout my career, I worked extensively with survivors of sexual assault, and provided eating disorder treatment at every level of care, including inpatient, partial hospitalization and outpatient. I quickly noticed the pervasiveness of disordered eating amongst traumatized individuals, and the presence of trauma, or high anxiety, amongst individuals diagnosed with eating disorders. My specialties allow me to work effectively across these and other concerns. I regularly pursue new education opportunities. I am interested in working with individuals whose identities related to culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, body size, and ability intersect with their mental health experiences.
My approach to mental health care is highly flexible and individualized. I believe we all have the strength and resilience necessary to grow, change and live a more fulfilling life.

I am a Canadian living in Los Angeles. And yes, I miss the seasons, ketchup chips, and Canadian Maple donuts...
