About Lourdes Mayes

Hi, I am a bilingual English/ Spanish licensed clinical social worker in California with over 21 years of experience in the mental health field. I have the honor of working with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, anger and stress management, parenting issues, and couple relationship challenges.
I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental and comfortable environment so we can work together to gain insight into the various contributions to your feelings and problems. We will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your problems, improve communication skills, build empathy & respect, learn effective problem-solving & conflict resolution skills, and strengthen connection, including intimacy. Very soon you will discover yourself and about the changes you can make to propel yourself forward. As long as you are open to sharing as well as accepting what is shared with you, this process of exploring can be highly rewarding, and it will also set up for success down the road. I’m looking forward to working with you!

“Utterly awesome”

“Lourdes is an amazing therapist. She has been like a mirror in the way that she can reflect my thoughts back to me to help me grow but she has also become like my mentor and friend. I am very grateful for her. I am now a mother and the work that she helped me do has allowed me to feel confident bring a baby into this world.”

“Lourdes is, by far, the best therapist I have worked with. <br /> <br /> I truly enjoy our sessions and I feel motivated to accomplish the goals and the work she gives me as homework. She's also understanding with my schedule and available time and we make progress according to that. <br /> <br /> But what I value the most is how insightful she is, and her capacity of finding things about myself and my story I didn't even knew or realized about. <br /> <br /> All of this together has helped me a lot in making so much progress in very short time. I'm very grateful of finding her and working with her every week.”
