“Arlene cares, nothing you say is off limits. I love the way she makes you feel at ease talking to her. I may start out totally down but by the time we are done I feel up and loves the way she challenges me and makes me think about things to help me. I know she has to have so much going on but she makes me feel that I am the most important person to her at that moment.”

Getting to know Arlene Ortiz
Hello, my name is Arlene and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I have been providing counseling for 33 years. I have experience working in various areas of counseling settings and have provided counseling for diverse populations that include different ages, genders, and diverse racial, cultural, and LGBTQ backgrounds. Through the years I have obtained knowledge with concerns including depression, anxiety, substance abuse, family/parenting difficulties as well as childhood, adolescent, and young adult adjustments. In recent years I have been trained to work with individuals who have experienced traumatic events.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
After our sessions, I hope you will walk away with a genuine feeling of being understood and motivated to work collaboratively toward a sense of well-being. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

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.
