I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 86942) having received a Master's degree from Pacific Oaks College in Pasadena. I have over eleven years of experience in the mental health field working with adults, children, and families. Many clients I have worked with have endured disorders such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and family conflict. I have been trained in several modalities and evidenced based practices including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP). I also practice group therapy, including a work centered on using horticulture (gardening) based activities.
My approach to clinical work involves using empathy and a client's strengths to assist them in achieving goals that will permit them to overcome the emotional hardship their stressors bring into their lives. I firmly believe the therapeutic process has to be fitted to the client's needs and undertaken one step at a time. Using open communication between client and therapist is also vital to maintaining a strong professional partnership.
I look forward to serving you as you take these import steps on a journey towards healing.

Luis listens and allows me to vent and walk through my feelings but provides emotional guidance as needed. I dont feel pressure to have an answer or game plan about what I am going through.

Luis was my second counselor on BetterHelp and I very much appreciated his help. He offered me some strategies that were tailored to what I was going through. But he also was good at truly listening and paying attention to my experience to give me healthy feedback. He is great!

Luis is very kind, passionate and a very good listener. As soon as I matched with Luis, he jumped right in trying to get to know me AND listen to my concerns (pressing or not). He has given me actionable tips and suggestions that I can utilize with ease. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an objective listening ear.

Luis is awesome. He is extremely supportive and understanding while finding unique ways to encourage change in my life. I was never a huge believer in therapy but after only a few sessions with Luis I quickly understand it’s value. Luis is wonderful and I’m so thankful I was paired up with him.

Mr. Resendez practices strong ethical counseling services and his feedback is significantly helpful. I’ve had experiences in other face to face session type settings and those have been very negative. Mr. Resendez has provided me with constructive and positive recommendations. Mr. Resendez is very proactive during all counseling interactions on BetterHelp. I feel extremely helped with Mr. Resendez’ counseling services.

Over the past month, my counselor, Luis Resendez, has understood my concerns and respected me in our weekly conversations. He has given me wise advice that I deeply appreciate. Without him my depression would have become worse. I feel so much better seeing someone understand what I am experiencing, rather than mocking me or calling me insane. So overall, I greatly appreciate Luis Resendez.

I believe Luis hears my concerns and has shown me some ways to help myself.
Written on Mar 16, 2018 after therapy with Luis for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family, parenting, and self esteem
Luis sympathizes with what I am going through without being judgmental and he is making every effort to understand what the problems are. I get the feeling that is he is willing to spend the time talking to me about this, whenever I need to talk to him about it, instead of what typically happens when you see a doctor, which has to be at scheduled times and for a fixed amount of time. This is very important to me. In the matters of the mind, the need for help can be spontaneous, and Luis has been very good in prompt replies. I strongly feel that having this kind of a spontaneous conversation with Luis will be much more helpful in achieving my goals than if I were limited to fixed times and dates with doctors.
