About Emily
Emily Cortez-Benitez is a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who offers individual therapy in English and Spanish. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
She has five years of experience working in mental health settings. That work has involved helping people who have faced hard situations, including those connected to adoption and foster care. She also helps people dealing with caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.
Emily uses an integrative style that combines reflective mindfulness, behavioral therapy techniques, and strength-based interventions. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, try small behavior changes, and build on what already works for them. She offers concrete tools people can use between meetings.
Clients can expect an empathic, whole-person stance rooted in mutual respect. Emily aims to create a welcoming space where people can speak without shame. She works at a steady, collaborative pace and adjusts methods to fit each person.
For those ready to start, Emily asks prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling follows the matching process and the therapist's availability.
