(she/her)
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 specialize in anxiety, depression, adjustment/life transitions, trauma, and grief/loss.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Clients can expect a warm, friendly therapist who is eager to get to know them and initially understand what brings them to therapy at this time.
The treatment methods and tools I utilize
I generally use CBT and solution-focused approaches but also consider myself client-centered and want to make sure you feel heard and validated to process your thoughts and emotions in a comforting space.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Genuine 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.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am particularly interested in working with women ages 19-35 dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, self esteem issues, stress, relationship issues, cultural stress, identity issues. I also remain open to other populations.
