Mayra Cortes, LCSW
Clinician
LCSW License #82241“As a first generation, bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to helping people live authentic and empowered lives. I earned my bachelor’s degree in applied psychology and sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and later pursued my graduate studies at the University of Southern California.
My approach to therapy incorporates the use of Polyvagal Theory while utilizing evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness, Crisis Intervention Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Over the course of my career, I have gained experience working with diverse, minority, and multicultural populations across various settings and age groups. I have successfully supported individuals facing mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, adjustment reactions, grief and bereavement, ADHD, pain management, and chronic illness.
Being human first and foremost, I believe that true healing occurs through the connection and trust established within the therapeutic relationship. My practice is grounded in compassion, empathy, and integrity. I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for my clients, fostering an environment that enhances well-being. I am dedicated to honoring each person's unique path. As a therapist, my primary focus is not on fixing or dictating what you should do. Instead, I'm deeply invested in joining you on a journey into the unknown, valuing and acknowledging the profound wisdom that already resides within you. Together, we will create a space for exploration and curiosity, examining what is and isn't working for you. I am dedicated to helping you rediscover your forgotten strengths and empowering you to recognize that the key to your own healing lies within yourself. Through collaboration, we will seek to find ways to make difficult experiences more manageable, foster a stronger connection with your body, gain insight into your patterns, and uncover possibilities for change. It's essential to remember that you are your greatest resource, and while I may provide guidance, you ultimately lead the way.
In addition to my professional pursuits, I actively prioritize self-care. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking, connecting with nature, reading, and cherishing precious moments with my family.”
