About Lourdes Mayes

Lourdes Mayes is a bilingual English and Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with more than 21 years of experience in the mental health field. She has served people coping with a variety of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anger and stress management, parenting challenges, and couple relationship issues.

She aims to provide a non-judgemental, comfortable space where exploration of feelings and the factors that contribute to them can take place. In therapy she works collaboratively to identify underlying causes and to develop strategies that address those root issues while also building practical skills.

Therapy with her emphasizes improved communication, greater empathy and respect between people, effective problem-solving and conflict resolution, and strengthening connection and intimacy where relevant. Over time clients often gain clearer self-understanding and identify changes that help them move forward.

The process she offers asks for openness both in sharing and in accepting feedback; when clients engage in that reciprocal exploration the work can become deeply rewarding and set the stage for longer-term progress.
