Getting to know Lourdes Ortiz Badger

I’m a bilingual (English-Spanish) Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who helps teens and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and relational stress by supporting them in understanding their patterns, connecting more deeply with themselves, and making intentional, meaningful changes in their lives, including work around immigration stress, cultural identity, and intergenerational influences.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Sessions with me tend to be collaborative and practical. We slow things down, look at your experiences, values, and coping patterns, and figure out what is helping you and what may be getting in the way. My hope is that our work together helps you see things from a new perspective, feel more grounded and confident, and feel ready to take the steps to move through life in a way that feels right for you. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based perspective, integrating tools from CBT, DBT, and somatic (body-based) practices. I support clients in developing greater awareness of their experiences, identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and creating space to better understand their stories, beliefs, and values. Drawing from my background in massage therapy and Philosophy, I integrate somatic and reflective insight and practices that support deeper exploration of awareness, values, purpose, and what makes life feel worth living.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based perspective, integrating tools from CBT, DBT, and somatic (body-based) practices. I support clients in developing greater awareness of their experiences, identifying patterns in thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and creating space to better understand their stories, beliefs, and values. Together, we explore practical tools and new perspectives that can help process emotions safely, work through current and past experiences, and build a sense of stability, connection, and presence in daily life. I also incorporate motivational strategies and, when helpful, a family systems or attachment-based lens to better understand relationship dynamics. In our first session, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, the positive changes you hope to achieve, and the areas you’d like to better understand or work through. The goal is to get a fuller understanding of not only what brings you in, but also you as a whole person—your story and what matters most to you—so we can begin to put things in perspective, notice patterns and strengths, and identify practical strategies that support meaningful, sustainable change. Together, we’ll begin outlining goals and small, manageable steps in the direction you want to move.
