Getting to know Juan Ortega

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have worked with young adults and our aging adult population. The type of therapy I use is Person-centered therapy to help clients increase their overall well-being. My approach My therapy approach varies depending on the client I am working with. Typically, our first couple of sessions will be rapport-building and understanding the client's needs. The type of approach will be discussed with the client to promote the autonomy of the client in this process. My focus I have worked with a variety of backgrounds throughout my career. The current population that I am providing the most care is Veterans of all age groups. I have experience in the substance use population, harm reduction, stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, and anger management. My communication style My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable sharing their issues in a non-judgmental environment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey as a therapist started after finishing my term in the United States Army. After my enlistment, I wanted to help out individuals going through increasing their overall health. I found a career in social work would allow me to help out individuals and becoming a licensed therapist was the way I could help individuals increase their overall well-being. My goals for you My approach to goal setting with clients is working as a team and having the client agree on the goals they feel are the most priority. This will happen in the rapport-building and hearing the client's issues they bring up. My first session with you Our first-session clients can expect us to spend the time to understand what brings them into therapy and their current state of mind. The clients should bring up topics they feel they are comfortable with and decide how they would like treatment to be delivered.
