About Jenny
Jenny Cortez is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 14 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She aims to make the first step easier by offering a calm, judgment-free space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She speaks English and Spanish to support communication for bilingual clients.
In sessions she focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. That can mean identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing coping skills for panic or strong emotions, or setting small goals to regain motivation. She uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral approaches alongside solution-focused work to help clients notice change quickly.
Jenny pays attention to life events that shake routines, such as divorce or other major transitions. She helps people talk through communication problems, manage mood fluctuations, and work on self-love and forgiveness. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-oriented so progress is clear and measurable.
Her background in social work has involved direct clinical practice over many years in California. That experience informs a practical style that emphasizes what people can do between sessions. Jenny encourages clients to try small, realistic steps and to review what works in subsequent meetings.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. The process is presented simply so families and individuals can focus on taking the next step toward feeling better.
