Therapy for teens, men, and adults navigating overthinking, anxiety, and the pressure to keep it all together — especially if you're capable, high-functioning, and tired of it looking easier than it feels.

Hi, I'm Luis. I'm a licensed clinical social worker and a first-generation Mexican American — a partner and a father myself. I keep this practice intentionally small so I can actually know the people I see. My approach is practical and collaborative, drawing from ACT, CBT, DBT, and self-compassion — conversational, not clinical. I'll push back when it's useful, not just nod along. I work with teens and adults, in English or Spanish.
Loosening the grip of the loop, without pretending it'll just switch off.
Widening your range past shutting down or being hard on yourself.
Fatherhood, relationships, and identity — figuring out who you're becoming, not just managing symptoms.
Working with how your attention actually operates, instead of against it.
A short, no-pressure call to talk through what's going on and see if we're a good fit.
We map out your history, what's brought you in now, and what you want to be different.
Usually weekly to start, adjusting the pace as things shift.
We revisit what you came in for so therapy stays useful, not just routine.
Private-pay sessions are $200. I'm also in-network with select plans through Headway and Spring Health — we'll confirm your coverage during your consultation call. If you're paying out of pocket, you'll receive a written Good Faith Estimate of costs before starting services, as required by federal law. If cost is a barrier, ask about sliding scale — I keep a limited number of reduced-rate spots and I'm always glad to talk it through.
Sessions are entirely virtual, for clients located anywhere in California.
Teens and adults dealing with anxiety, overthinking, emotional regulation, and life transitions — including fatherhood and first-generation experiences. Sessions are available in English or Spanish. If that sounds close but not exact, reach out anyway.
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows are subject to a $100 fee, which insurance doesn't cover.
I return calls and messages within 1-2 business days for non-urgent matters. This isn't an emergency service — if you're in crisis, see the Resources page.
Request a consultation below, or email me directly. We'll do a short call to talk through what's going on, confirm insurance if applicable, and see if we're a good fit before scheduling an intake.
A short, no-obligation call to talk through what's going on and see if this is the right fit. Availability is currently limited.
