Biography
Welcome! My name is Mary Carmen Cortez, and I am a dedicated Family and Marriage Therapist and Professional Clinical Counselor. With a specialization in trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, and loss, I am committed to supporting individuals through their most challenging times.
I embrace an integrative, client-centered approach to therapy. This means I tailor my methods to meet the unique needs of each person, ensuring a compassionate and personalized experience. I believe in the power of a therapeutic relationship built on trust, empathy, and understanding.
I offer individual therapeutic sessions designed to help you navigate life’s difficulties and reach your full potential. Whether you are struggling with emotional pain, seeking to overcome past traumas, or simply need someone to talk to, I am here to support you every step of the way.
My journey to becoming a therapist was driven by a deep desire to help others achieve their best selves. I understand the profound impact that mental health challenges can have on one's life, and I am passionate about providing the tools and support needed to overcome these obstacles.
Outside of my professional life, I am a dog lover and enjoy incorporating art into my practice. Art can be a powerful medium for expression and healing, and I find it incredibly rewarding to witness the positive changes it can bring to my clients. Additionally, I have a deep passion for mindfulness practices. I often integrate mindfulness techniques into my therapy sessions, helping clients cultivate awareness, reduce stress, and enhance their overall well-being.
If you are looking for a compassionate and understanding therapist to guide you through your journey, please reach out. I offer online sessions to provide flexible and accessible support, no matter where you are located.
I look forward to working with you and helping you find peace and fulfillment in your life.
