You can be doing well on paper and still feel stuck in your own head.

Therapy can help you stop spinning your wheels and start handling things differently — even when everything looks fine from the outside.

My approach is practical and collaborative.

For me, "Legacy" isn't abstract — it's what gets passed down, and what you get to change on purpose.

Luis Cardozo, LCSW

I'm Luis. I'm a therapist, first-generation Mexican American, partner, and dad. I work well with people who think a lot, carry a lot, and are tired of feeling like they should have this figured out by now. Therapy with me is practical, conversational, and focused on what actually helps outside the session. We'll understand the patterns, work on what's happening now, and figure out what actually helps. I'll listen, but I'll also challenge you when it's useful.

I'm a good fit for people who want reflection plus practical change — not just a place to vent.

Sound like you? Here's what happens next.

What we work on together.

Anxiety & overthinking

Less second-guessing, less staying stuck in your head, and more confidence moving forward.

Emotional regulation

Learning how to catch yourself before shutting down, blowing up, or turning everything inward.

Relationships & identity

Fatherhood, relationships, identity, and the pressure to be the one who keeps it together.

ADHD & executive functioning

Less all-or-nothing thinking, task paralysis, and beating yourself up for not doing things the way you think you should.

Teens

Anxiety, emotional regulation, self-criticism, transitions, and practical coping skills.

My work draws from ACT, CBT, DBT, self-compassion, and skills-based approaches — used flexibly, not as a script.

Starting therapy can feel like the hardest part.

Here's what it actually looks like once you reach out — no big commitment, just a next step.

01

Consultation call

A short, no-pressure call to talk through what's going on and see if we're a good fit.

02

Start with the pattern

We get clear on what keeps happening, what matters to you, and what you want to handle differently.

03

Practice real change

We build tools, apply them outside of therapy, and adjust as your needs change.

Common questions.

What are your rates?

Private pay is $200 per session. Select insurance plans are accepted through Headway and Spring Health; coverage varies by plan.

Who do you work with?

Adults and teens who overthink, get hard on themselves, or feel stuck in patterns they're tired of repeating — including fatherhood and first-generation experiences. Sessions available in English or Spanish.

What's your cancellation policy?

I ask for at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations and no-shows are subject to a $100 fee, which insurance doesn't cover.

How do I get started?

We'll do a short call to talk through what's going on, answer any questions, and see if we're a good fit before scheduling an intake.
