Pedro has been very flexible with my schedule. He hits topics that he understands are major concerns to me and he walks me through ways of coping or helping to make things better. I appreciate Pedro and his time and attention when we are in our sessions.

As we face many life choices on a daily basis, it can get quite overwhelming as we try to juggle our personal lives, family, friends, children, work, and unexpected events all at once. We tend to concentrate on helping others and avoid taking care of ourselves. If we have experienced past trauma in our lives, it compounds our life to where it feels like we are drowning. It’s time to heal, gain strength, and work out your barriers to improving your behavior, and I am available to assist on your journey. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 16 years of experience in the mental health field. I have assisted individuals with issues that include depression, anxiety, anger management, pain management, young adult issues, PTSD, immigration counseling, divorce, substance abuse, living with HIV, and healthy relationships.
My focus is working with young adults as they deal with life changing decisions and the stressors of expectations, the unknown future, and the anxiety of transitioning into adulthood.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

He has been very supportive and understanding. I couldn’t think of a better way to experience therapy with Better help and Dr. Lora.
We have only had a few meetings, but pedro seems to be very attentive, supportive, and experienced in key areas that pertain to my lifestyle
Pedro listened to my concerns and directed me to the focus of the work we will due to develop coping skills. He outlined what I can address and control and the need to know what I cannot control. I look forward to our continued work.
Pedro has a great vibe. I was able to develop an immediate rapport with him.
