Lourdes - Licensed Individual and Children Therapist - counselor


I am passionate about helping individuals heal and feel empowered to look at their lives with clearer lenses. My approach in therapy is based on a research-based perspective that the brain is constantly trying to heal itself. The beautiful thing about our brain is that there is hope for healing— even if we go through inevitable difficulties in our lives, we can indeed recover but sometimes we need a little bit of help to move forward. I am here to help you with your journey of healing and growing as a person.

Life can be unpredictable and can bring us to places that we may not know how to handle. I can help you strengthen your potentials and abilities to allow you to feel equipped and have a better sense of self. I use a combination of evidenced based therapy practices such as Mindfulness, CBT, and also EMDR therapy for those who need to process past trauma.

Asking for help can be at times outside of our comfort zone, therefore, I am here to support you with any questions that you may have. This is a non-judgmental, safe space to talk about any concerns or hesitations.
Last, I also speak Spanish — hablo español.

Non-session fee schedule

The therapist does not provide disability letters, companion pet letters, or letters regarding your ability to work, or any letters that would inform providers of your mental health letters.  You must discuss these needs with your medical or primary care provider.  

Non-session phone calls.  Non-session phone calls are rarely covered by insurance companies.  Fees for telephone calls are $150.00 per hour rounded up to 0.5 hour increments.

Court Appearance. Clients are discouraged from having the therapist subpoenaed. Though the client’s attorney, who initiates the subpoena request is responsible for the court appearance and testimony fees, it does not mean that the therapist’s testimony will be solely in the client’s favor. The Therapist will only testify their professional opinion and to the facts of the case. 

The following fees apply for court/legal related items:

Preparation time (including submission of records), phone calls, depositions, email or written letters, travel and/or waiting time, time required in giving testimony, filing a document, $320/hour plus any court or other fees incurred. Mileage $0.58/mile.  Time away from office due to depositions or testimony $320/hour.   The minimum charge for a court appearance $2500. Fees are cumulative. Any and all legal fees, costs, and expenses incurred by the therapist as a result of the legal action.  PLEASE NOTE: A retainer of $2500 is due in advance. If a subpoena or notice to meet attorney(s) is received without a minimum of 48-hour notice there will be an additional $450 “express” charge. If the case is reset with notice of less than 72 business-hours, the client will be charged $500 (in addition to the retainer of $2500). All fees are doubled if the therapist has to postpone or interrupt plans.
