Amy Cordero, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amy!

I'm passionate about helping individuals through life transitions and adjustments. I focus heavily on building strong relationships with my clients, as I believe the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest components of our work.

My focus

My approach works well with individual adults experiencing life transitions that often take the form of anxiety, self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression, loneliness, relational issues, and grief. I work with individuals open to learning about and shifting thinking and behavior patterns.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is warm, empathic, and direct. I utilize an eclectic approach tailored to each client, focusing on addressing your unique needs. I emphasize therapeutic trust so that we may remove imposed judgments and openly explore difficult situations.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathic, and caring, yet direct. In our sessions, I offer direct feedback when appropriate and encourage exploratory questions that provoke deeper dialogue. I want you to feel comfortable in our communication.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about witnessing the transformation of my clients. I feel grateful that I am a supportive partner in the process of transformation and growth.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to help you learn about and identify goals, so that we may collaborate and identify what our focus will be. Throughout our work, we'll check in and review progress and areas that may need tailoring along the way.

Our first session

During the first session, I'll spend the majority of the time getting to know you. I like to ensure I understand what is happening so that we may have a clear focus on where to move forward. I offer an introduction and explanation of the therapeutic process and answer any questions.
