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.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
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.
What treatment methods and tools do you 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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
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.
