Sandra Cortes, RCSWI
Provider Profile
My path to becoming a therapist is rooted in a deep belief that healing happens in connection—with ourselves and with others. Over the years, I’ve seen how therapy can create a safe space for people to process pain, rebuild relationships, and rediscover hope, even in the midst of life’s most difficult seasons. This includes walking alongside individuals and families as they navigate grief, whether from loss, change, or life transitions.
​
I work with adults, teens, couples, and families, providing a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. My approach is collaborative—you bring your lived experience, and together, we work toward the goals that matter most to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based practices, and specialized techniques for couples, family, and children’s therapy. By combining these methods, I help clients strengthen relationships, improve communication, and develop the skills to cope with life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s in Social Work (MSW).
My work is guided by the belief that no one is defined solely by their struggles—we all have the capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change.
When I’m not in session, you can often find me outdoors, traveling to new places, or exploring restaurants in search of my next favorite meal.
