Getting to know Diana Ortega

Hi there, I'm Diana! Welcome! I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I know that starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to take that first step alone. My aim is to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, respected, and safe– whether you’re processing traumas, navigating difficult times, managing symptoms, setting healthy boundaries, or working through relationship challenges. I'm here to support you through your journey of healing, growth, and a deeper understanding of yourself. My approach In my approach, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and other evidence-based modalities. Together, we’ll determine which approaches best support your goals and overall well-being, tailoring your treatment plan to fit your unique needs. My Focus In my practice over the past six years, I’ve supported clients through a wide range of emotional and behavioral needs. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, interpersonal relationship issues, unhealthy patterns, and general life issues. My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My communication style I prioritize making you feel heard, respected, and supported through the therapeutic process. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental presence, and I will actively listen and provide you with unconditional support. I encourage you to be yourself and show up exactly as you are. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into the mental health field began with a deep desire to support others through their most challenging moments and help them find ways to cope and heal. Growing up with family members who also work in mental health further inspired and sparked an interest in this field. Their passion, combined with my own experiences, reinforced my commitment to making meaningful differences in the lives of others.
