Getting to know Dr. Christina Ortiz
***NOT TAKING INSURANCE AT THIS TIME. SELF-PAY ONLY. TELEHEALTH ONLY. ADULTS ONLY***
I specialize in anxiety, depression, insomnia, anger issues, trauma, PTSD, and substance addiction. If you are looking for results-oriented, supportive, culturally affirming, and compassionate treatment to improve your mental health and quality of life, I may be able to help.
I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Patients describe me as warm, wise, compassionate, genuine, understanding, and charismatic with a healthy bit of humor. My passion for this work is evident to my patients and all who know me. Finding a therapist with whom you feel connected, safe, and understood is essential for therapy to work. Prior to booking your appointment, please contact me for a free consultation to determine if I am the right fit.
The first appointment scheduled with me is the initial intake, during which we discuss your history, goals, and I provide recommendations or referrals if needed.
Please see my rates below and note that I AM NOT TAKING INSURANCE AT THIS TIME. I will be happy to provide you with a "superbill" that you can submit to your insurance company if you have out-of-network coverage. Please confirm your out-of-network benefits with your health insurance prior to booking an appointment.
Full payment for your initial appointment and therapy sessions thereafter is expected prior to services.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My psychotherapy services are provided using telehealth to meet you wherever you are in California.
Finding a therapist with whom you feel connected, safe, and understood is essential for therapy to work.
Please see my rates below and note that I DO NOT TAKE INSURANCE AT THIS TIME. However, if you have an out-of-network plan, it is likely that most or all of the session costs will be reimbursed if you have met your out-of-network deductible.
Rates:
$200 for the first appointment (Initial Intake).
$150 per individual therapy session.
I believe that you are the expert of your own life and I believe in the human capacity for choice, empowerment, and self-actualization. Thus, during sessions, I will be an active participant in helping you move towards your goals and will never work harder than you. Instead, I will give you tools to empower yourself to grow and thrive to the extent that you desire to do so.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Your first appointment is the initial 15-minute phone consultation. This is a process by which I learn about your specific needs and mental health goals to determine if my services are appropriate for you.
Sessions are then scheduled weekly or bi-weekly and are where we do the work of meeting your mental health goals.
