Getting to know Pedro Cortez-Mclaughlin

My ideal client is someone who's interested in addressing and working on whatever they're struggling with directly and openly. Perhaps you are no longer enjoying things you used to, or experiencing nervousness or tension in your work. Maybe you're worried all the time or have mostly negative thoughts. My ideal client could be anyone, younger or older, and ideally in California, as I can only work in this state. I work a lot with anxiety, depression, attentional difficulties, and life transitions that people go through. I use a range of different techniques shown to be effective for these issues so we can explore options in treatment together. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Santa Clara University. I'm a pretty easygoing and talkative person in life, and I try to keep myself genuine both outside and in the therapy room. I would like to help anyone willing to take that first step to come-it can be so difficult reaching out, and sometimes it's the last straw. With that in mind, I will do my best to support whoever comes to see me.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I like to work collaboratively with clients and so we may talk about strategies, options and types of therapy depending on their presenting issue and what has been effective in working on that. I'm accessible via text for appointment modifications as well as phone or email. Therapy with me may come with tasks to accomplish between sessions so be prepared that there may be some work to do depending on the issue, but rest assured that regardless of how much you can do we will work together to form progress.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

A typical session differs from the first session because we need to go over your rights and explore what brings you in, so the first session will likely include a lot of questions and discussion. Afterward, my sessions can vary from being more structured to less structured depending on the presenting issue and what the client would like, i'll be sure to talk with my client about what each choice holds.

More information on payments and coverage

I charge out of pocket electronically typically but i do also accept cash. When using kaiser we need you as the client to call your kaisers "behavioral health" or "psychiatry" department to request getting therapy services, and inform them you have a therapist picked you'd like authorization sent to. Provide them my name, my organization "One Life Counseling Center" as well as our tax ID: 81-0919786. When this is done it'll usually take 2 weeks for authorization to be made and we can start meeting for therapy!
