Getting to know Sonia Ortega

Welcome! If you're here, you might be going through something that feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelming and you're looking for someone to work with during this difficult time. I like to use a client-centered and collaborative approach to therapy to fit your unique needs and goals. My approach My approach is grounded in respect for your lived experience and cultural identity. I want to create a safe and supportive environment where you can be yourself. My focus I enjoy working with both young adults figuring out their path in life and older adults who are navigating big changes or looking for more meaning and connection. I offer a supportive space to explore whatever stage you're in, with respect and curiosity. My communication style My communication style is warm, collaborative, curious, and thoughtful presence to our sessions. I aim to create a space where you feel heard and respected while also ask questions and help you reflect on patterns with insight. My journey to mental healthcare I've always known I was interested in social work and passionate about supporting others. While working at a nonprofit agency throughout my bachelors program I worked alongside therapists who encouraged me to pursue clinical social work. It has been a journey that has brought me a lot of joy. My goals for you I will help you create goals that feel meaningful to you. We discuss what you would like to accomplish during therapy and check in regularly to see how things are going. I adjust my approach as needed while also continuing to make sure your goals reflect your values and priorities. My first session with you Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. Throughout our time together we will continue to build on our work together. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about your first appointment but I am here to support and guide you through each process.
