You want to feel healthier, think more clearly, and reach your potential. You are interested in getting help for disturbing images, feelings. or thoughts that preoccupy your mind. We are here to help you with this. I specialize in trauma that affects adults.

I use a combination of techniques such as EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people move on from traumatic experiences in their lives. It hasn't been easy, and you've been thinking about how to change. Let us help you in your path to self discovery, and leading a more healthy life style.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I'll start with a brief introduction, I'll verify some information, then I'll have you discuss current and ongoing concerns in your life. I'll make sure I have an understanding of what is going on, I will develop a treatment plan, and then we will complete an assessment together. Finally I will set up expectations about therapy, therapeutic boundaries, I'll review policies and procedures, payment, and we will discuss weekly scheduled session times.

I utilize a strength's based approach for my client's safety, and pace my therapies to meet my client's needs and safety, and I tailor my interventions for you the client.

Luis has been one of the best therapists, I have ever been to. Honestly at this point in my life, for the first time, I look forward to having my appointments; I always feel better and more in control of my life after one. I can healthy, eye opening and enlightening vent session that allows me to feel as if I have a way to rewrite the trauma.

I have seen a few therapists over the years and I have never had a better experience than with Luis. Very open minded, judgement free, and will help walk me to the answer I need (no matter how many weeks/ months/ years it takes for me to see it) with patience. 10/10, really is the best there is

My treatment methods

EMDR

I am a Certified EMDR Practitioner and I enjoy working with clients utilizing this modality because of its proven results for trauma rapidly.

Hypnotherapy

I have been trained thru the Milton Erickson Institute, and I've also be trained by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, and I've been trained in Neurolinguistic Programming.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I have been using CBT to help people with automatic negative thinking patterns and with irrational core beliefs to help my client's improve their moods and reactions to life stressors.

Motivational Interviewing

I enjoy Motivational Interviewing because of his client centered perspective and how it encourages the client to arrive at their own solutions utilizing their own strengths.
