More about Joyce Cortes, AMFT

Joyce Cortes is a “Associate Marriage and Family Therapist" and is currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their CA license number is 147390 and their current employer is Jetena McGhee. I work with women/female teens/girls who use American Sign Language only. Working with a Deaf client involves understanding their unique challenges, such as communication barriers, social isolation, discrimination, and mental health issues. Key needs include effective communication methods, supportive social networks, accessible services, and advocacy. Goals often include improving communication, building social connections, achieving career success, and enhancing mental health. Deaf clients desire inclusion, equal opportunities, self-sufficiency, independence, and overall happiness. Addressing these areas ensures they receive the support needed to thrive in both Deaf and hearing communities. As a Deaf therapist specializing in trauma and crisis intervention, I provide tailored support for Deaf clients. I use ASL for effective communication, help build supportive networks, empower self-advocacy, address mental health issues, and assist with personal and career goals, fostering overall well-being. I understand the unique challenges Deaf clients face and am here to offer empathetic, tailored support. Whether you're struggling with communication barriers, mental health concerns, or career goals, I'm here to help. Please reach out to me—together, we can work towards your well-being and success.
