Getting to know Christy Ortiz

I offer a non-judgmental, empathic, and supportive space where clients can feel safe to explore their experiences. My goal is to empower you as you navigate life’s challenges and discover your own capacity for growth. I view therapy as a collaborative process of self-exploration, acceptance, healing, and recognition of your strengths, challenges, and goals. I believe that you are the expert on you. My role is to walk alongside you, offering tools, insight, and guidance that support your journey toward clarity and well-being. Because every person’s story is unique, I draw from multiple therapeutic modalities and tailor my approach to meet your individual needs. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, life transitions, grief and loss, and challenges faced by children, teens, young adults, couples, and families. My intention is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward the life you want.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Building connection and helping clients feel able to open up can take work and time, and I'm able to make space for that. My therapeutic role is promoting enhanced self-awareness, better coping skills, and to foster your sense of personal responsibility. This will enable you to respond better to adversity and maintain a healthier perspective on your difficulties. You will realize that you can learn to stabilize and reassure yourself when problems arise and work through them more effectively.

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.
