Reality Therapy in Newport Coast, CA

As a dedicated and compassionate mental health therapist, my passion lies in helping individuals navigate their emotional challenges and develop a sense of well-being. My journey into this field began with a deep-rooted desire to make a positive impact on people's lives and contribute to their overall mental health journey. My approach to therapy is centered around creating a safe, non-judgmental space where individuals feel heard, understood, and supported. I believe that every person's experiences and struggles are unique, therefore, I employ a personalized, client-centered approach to tailor my interventions to meet their needs.

¡Hola! I'm Luis, a dedicated therapist helping adolescents and men navigate life's challenges. As a Mexican American, I understand how our experiences are shaped by cultural dynamics. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can uncover your inner strengths. Life's transitions can be tough, leading to low self-esteem and emotional struggles.

Welcome! We are a team of psychotherapist who are united in our commitment to providing the highest-quality mental health care available to adults, adolescents, couples & families. We help high-functioning professionals, anxious overachievers, survivors of abuse, complex trauma and PTSD. Anger, numbness, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, phobias and addictions are usually the result of unresolved trauma. Even the slightest incidents can be traumatizing, impacting us from the inside out and hijacking our ability to cope. The good news is, you can’t change your past, but you don’t have to live there.

Whether you are seeking emotional, spiritual, or physical balance, this is your journey and I am here to guide you in discovering your personal happiness, what brings you peace and makes you feel centered, complete, and healthy.

I utilize a client centered approach in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. In a safe, supportive, and non judgemental space we can explore the negative patterns in your life, work through any barriers, and move towards healing, growth, and change.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

You don't have to do it alone. We can do it together. There is significant strength in seeking support and guidance when you need it.
