Lourdes is, by far, the best therapist I have worked with. I truly enjoy our sessions and I feel motivated to accomplish the goals and the work she gives me as homework. She's also understanding with my schedule and available time and we make progress according to that. But what I value the most is how insightful she is, and her capacity of finding things about myself and my story I didn't even knew or realized about. All of this together has helped me a lot in making so much progress in very short time. I'm very grateful of finding her and working with her every week.
More about Lourdes

- LCSW
Hi, I am a bilingual English/ Spanish licensed clinical social worker in California with over 12 years of experience in the mental health field. I have the honor of working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, anger and stress management, parenting issues, and couple relationship challenges.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental and comfortable environment so we can work together to gain insight into the various contributions to your feelings and problems. We will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your problems, improve communication skills, build empathy & respect, learn effective problem-solving & conflict resolution skills, and strengthen connection, including intimacy. Very soon you will discover yourself and about the changes you can make to propel yourself forward. As long as you are open to sharing as well as accepting what is shared with you, this process of exploring can be highly rewarding, and it will also set up for success down the road. I’m looking forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I feel so heard and seen and I've made such positive changes in my mindset that will benefit me for the rest of my life
I appreciate Lourdes because she is honest with me and shares with me tough love while at the same time being loving. She offers solutions and understands me and what I go through. She allows me to go at my own pace yet encourages me to grow in certain areas like boundaries because she knows it will be better for me the sooner I do the work.
Es una persona muy bien preparada y me alluda mucho en mis necesidades me sabe guiar
I find Lourdes east to talk to, a great listener. She offers great insight into my situations & I trust her completely.
I’ve had other therapists in the past but I wasn’t feeling they were the right ones for me. When I found Lourdes I felt completely comfortable talking to her, she’s very empathetic, she understands me and make me see things more clearly, she’s very amazing. Thank you Lourdes!
She is a great listener and helps me see things from a different perspective
Lourdes is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, caring, intuitive, and brings such a positive light to my life. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy!
Lourdes is an amazing therapist. She has been like a mirror in the way that she can reflect my thoughts back to me to help me grow but she has also become like my mentor and friend. I am very grateful for her. I am now a mother and the work that she helped me do has allowed me to feel confident bring a baby into this world.
Lourdes has been incredible in identifying ways to guide me towards getting to know myself better from the first moment onwards. She truly listens and cares. She makes life so much simpler; she's the perfect mentor.
Lourdes has been incredibly helpful guiding me through my life’s fluctuations. She is kind and thoughtful, but will also call me out when I’m not following my intuition.
Lourdes is an amazing counsellor. She listens and follows cues. I was blessed to have her
I’d recommend Lourdes to anyone who wishes to meet with a therapist that has a listening ear and empowers you with tools to manage your anxiety! These last few months have been a welcome journey learning to manage my anxiety and I am appreciative that Lourdes is on my team!
Lourdes is a very good counselor and she listens to me and knows what I should work on
I felt as though Lourdes knew exactly what to say to me and how to deal with my personality. She gave me some coping mechanisms to help me through a bad time and to relieve some negative thoughts and I am excited for our next session!
I have enjoyed my sessions with Lourdes. She has a lot of experiencing and is easy to talk to. Glad I decided to try better help
