Hello and thank you for taking the time to read about me. My name is Emily Cortez and I am an LMFT in CA. It is my hope to connect with you in a warm, supportive space to help process and tackle the many challenges that life throws at us.

I have been practicing in the field going on 5 years now and have experience working with children, teens, families, and adults.

I have been practicing in the field going on 5 years now and have experience working with children, teens, families, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment/life transitions, trauma, and grief/loss.

First session

Clients can expect a warm and friendly therapist who is interested in getting to know them and what brings them to therapy. I aim to be collaborative with client needs and goals that are discussed during the first session.

Strengths

Human connection is what brought me to this career as a therapist. I enjoy connecting with others in a meaningful way and hope to support and empower my clients in any way that I can.

Ideal clients

I am particularly interested in working with women ages 18-35 dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self esteem issues, stress, relationship issues, cultural stress, identity issues. I also remain open to other populations.

Emily is very nice and makes opening up very easy. She's not only a very good listener but also shows insight into understanding and coping in a healthy way. I'm really enjoying our sessions so far!

I finally feel like I found a therapist that works for ME. Emily is very welcoming and open-minded. She does not make me feel like my feelings aren't valid. I feel heard with Emily. I see similarities within us both and look forward to my session with her weekly. Therapy does not feel like an appointment, it feels like a weekly meet up with a good friend. I look forward to learning new techniques to manage my anxiety. I highly recommend Emily.
