Getting to know Luis Otero
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or depression and want support before things begin to unravel. Perhaps your mind feels crowded with intrusive thoughts, distressing images, or emotions that are hard to manage alone. You may be seeking clarity, emotional stability, and a way to feel more in control of your life. Therapy can help you slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and develop healthier ways to cope. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you regain balance, think more clearly, and move toward the life you want to live.
I specialize in trauma that affects adults. This maybe a combat trauma, a recent experience that was traumatic, or an early childhood event(s) that continues to affect you. I use a combination of techniques such as EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people move on from traumatic experiences in their lives.
It hasn't been easy, and you've been thinking about how to change. Let us help you in your path to self discovery, and leading a more healthy life style.
What should a new client know about working with you?

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Luis was outstanding and with the short time we had together he pulled out some valuable insight to work on immediately?

I've actually been better sending a lot from my sessions with him while he is direct and very honest he doesn't make you feel like you being judged but he gets to the point and makes you really look at things from a healthier point of view I think he's doing a wonderful job so far and I'm very comfortable with him he makes you feel at ease and that you're in a safe protected environment with him

My visit with Dr. Otero was a pleasant one for me, he came across with a relaxed demeanor. He let me know up front that I am in control of the session and taking my time is whats important, this is not going to be solved over two sessions. He is very attentive to you as you speak giving insightful feedback. I am onboard for more sessions.
