Getting to know Alma Gabriela Ortiz
I am a mother, an interdisciplinary artist, and a Depth Psychology-Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices Ph.D. candidate. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marital and Family Therapy from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. With over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked with individuals experiencing mild to severe symptoms. My background includes crisis intervention and providing psychotherapy in board-and-care facilities, partial hospitalization programs, inpatient programs, and outpatient services. I offer a holistic and trauma-informed perspective that strengthens the mind-body-soul connection to improve mental, emotional, and physical wellness. I integrate a decolonial approach to raise awareness of systemic and intergenerational traumas affecting people in the BIPOC community. As part of decolonizing therapy, I incorporate ancestral healing practices and encourage my clients to explore their own ancestral lineage.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
