Lorena De Cardenas

I received my Masters in Mental Health and School Counseling. I work with most populations however, I have worked mostly with adults. My approach is collaborative and client-centered, grounded in the belief that individuals are the experts on their own experiences. Rather than viewing therapy as something done to a client, I view it as a process done with them, one that fosters insight, resilience, and self-efficacy. I strive to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, while also equipping them with practical tools they can use independently beyond the therapy room.

As a licensed mental health therapist, my professional goal is to empower clients to recognize their own strengths, abilities, and potential to create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. I believe that therapy is not only a space for support during difficult times, but also an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and the development of lifelong skills that promote emotional well-being.

I am committed to creating a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and valued. Through compassion, evidence-based practices, and genuine connection, my goal is to support clients not only in navigating challenges, but in building confidence in their ability to help themselves, make informed choices, and lead fulfilling lives.
