Getting to know Nicole Ortiz

Hi there, I'm Nicole! I’m Nicole Ortiz, LPCC, and I believe mental health is more than the absence of illness—it’s a dynamic balance of physical, mental, and social well-being. As an Air Force veteran, mother, and grandmother, I bring a wealth of life experience and a deep commitment to walking alongside you on your journey. Together, we’ll work toward healing, foster resilience, and support meaningful, lasting transformation. My approach With 9 years of dedicated experience in treating trauma and addiction, I specialize in helping survivors of trauma through a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My expertise includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness, all integrated with holistic wellness practices to support comprehensive healing. As a former clinical director, I deeply understand the importance of meeting clients where they are in their journey and providing wraparound care to ensure they feel fully supported every step of the way. My focus I primarily work with adults aged 35 to 80, including trauma survivors, individuals facing addiction challenges, elders, active-duty military, veterans, and first responders. My specialties include treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and grief, though I address a wide range of conditions. I have a particular passion for working with older adults, exploring life’s journey and the deeper questions of existentialism. What is your "why"? What aspects of your life would you like to deeply examine and understand? If you are seeking meaning, growth, and healing, I would be honored to support you on your journey. My communication style My communication style is kind yet direct—I don’t believe in beating around the bush because trauma has already taken enough time. In our work together, we won’t waste a moment. We’ll dive into the hard but meaningful work that fosters real growth and healing.
