Pedro Lora, LPC

Pedro Lora recognizes how daily choices and competing responsibilities - family, work, relationships, and unexpected events - can become overwhelming. He notes that people often focus on supporting others while neglecting their own needs, and that unresolved trauma can intensify stress until life feels unmanageable. Pedro approaches therapy as a collaborative process aimed at building strength, reducing barriers, and helping people change patterns of behavior to improve overall functioning.

He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), a credential that authorizes practice in mental health counseling, and brings 19 years of experience in the field. Over the course of his career he has supported individuals facing depression, anxiety, anger management concerns, pain management, young adult transitions, post-traumatic stress, immigration-related challenges, divorce, substance use issues, living with HIV, and the work of building healthy relationships.

Pedro emphasizes support for young adults who are navigating life-changing decisions and the stress that comes with expectation, uncertainty, and the transition to adulthood. His clinical approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-focused techniques. He provides services in both English and Spanish, and blends practical strategies with empathic support to help people move through difficult moments toward clearer goals. Pedro earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Mental Health from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
