Let's take the journey of reconnecting, together.
In therapy with Victoria, clients find a supportive and empowering space to explore their inner world. With deep cultural understanding, Victoria sees you as a whole person- working with you to break free from generational cycles, guilt, and shame. She helps you build self-trust, develop emotional tools, and align your choices with the life you want. Her goal is to support you in finding clarity, confidence, and a sense of grounded peace that starts from within.
Whether you're navigating life as a first-gen individual or working through sibling dynamics as adults, therapy offers a culturally responsive space to process, set boundaries, and strengthen emotional well-being.
All therapy services are offered virtually through secure telehealth for adult clients residing in California. Victoria L. Cortez, LMFT (#124736), is a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California.
Individual Therapy
As a first-generation Latina therapist, I work with individuals who are ready to explore their inner world with honesty and care. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by generational pressure, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or struggling with anxiety and boundaries, this space is for you. Together, we’ll untangle what’s been inherited, reconnect with your needs, and build the emotional tools to help you feel grounded, empowered, and more like yourself (or discover who that is in this chapter of your life).
- Rate: $175 for weekly sessions. (Limited reduced fee slots available)
- Payment Accepted: I am an in-network provider with Aetna and offer superbills for clients seeking out-of-network reimbursement. Accept Private Pay (credit card, hsa/fsa card, etc).
- California Residents Only
Adult Sibling Therapy
Our siblings are often the people we’ve known the longest- yet those relationships can hold some of our most complicated emotions. I work with adult siblings who grew up in the same house but carry very different emotional stories. Whether there’s distance, resentment, confusion, or a quiet desire to reconnect, this space offers a compassionate and nonjudgmental place to unpack it all.
Together, we’ll explore family dynamics, unspoken wounds, and unhelpful roles, while building communication tools and boundaries that support healing- individually or as a sibling pair. This work isn’t about forcing closeness, but about understanding your story, honoring your feelings, and creating space for whatever comes next.
- Rate: $225 per weekly session (75 min)
- Payment Accepted: Private Pay (credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards).
- California Residents Only.
You don’t have to hold it all alone.
If you're tired of carrying the pressure, the guilt, or the feeling that you have to figure it all out on your own- this space was made for you. Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about learning to understand you and how to show up for you. If you’re curious, hesitant, or ready- I invite you to schedule a chat with me so you can ask all your questions. Let’s see if this space feels like the right fit.
