Getting to know Christian J. Portillo

Hello, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles, Luskin School of Public Affairs, and have been practicing for eight years. I specialize in men’s issues, major life transitions, and treating work-related stress and anxiety. My expertise includes trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, collaborative problem-solving, and mental health treatment. I am committed to expanding access to quality mental health care for children, families, and adults, helping individuals build resilience and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In our sessions, you can expect us to talk about your expectations and reasons for seeking therapy. At each session, we will talk about how you’re feeling, what’s working, and whether you feel supported and understood. I have been described as having a calm, welcoming and non-judgemental approach by my colleagues and previous clients. As your therapist, I will serve as a guide, and provide structure and clinical feedback when appropriate to encourage your personal growth in therapy.

In-network insurances

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.
