Pedro Garay

You do not have to know what to say. Most men who come to therapy for the first time do not. They just know something is off and they are tired of pushing through it alone. I am Pedro, a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor fluent in English and Spanish. Before private practice I spent years as a CPS investigator, caseworker, and supervisor, then as a clinician and Program Director for an Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Program at a psychiatric hospital. I have sat with people in some of the hardest moments a family can face. That background shapes how I work: practical, grounded, and without judgment. I specialize in men's issues, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and the stress that builds when you have been handling everything without anyone asking if you are okay. I also work with couples and families, and I bring the same directness and cultural fluency to all of it. Si prefieres hablar en español, estoy aquí.

I am creative and solution-oriented, and I pull from a wide range of approaches including ACT, CBT, Somatic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic work depending on what you actually need. Some clients want to understand the pattern. Others want tools they can use this week. Most want both. We will figure out what fits and move from there.

We talk. I ask questions, you answer what you are comfortable with. What feels like a weakness walking in is usually where your real strength is hiding and I am here to help find solutions with you.
