Tiffany Ortiz, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tiffany!

I work with individuals of all ages, specializing in children, adolescents, and families. My aim is to support healing and growth by providing a warm, comfortable, safe space where clients become self-aware, create meaning from experiences, and develop skills to manage difficulties.

My focus

I work with clients from multiculturally diverse backgrounds experiencing trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, medical conditions, parenting challenges, and family issues. This may manifest as perinatal mental health concerns, depression, anxiety, ADHD, ongoing stress, or difficulties navigating social situations.

My approach

I use an integrative approach incorporating psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and multicultural perspectives. Understanding the source of emotional difficulties develops insight within the self, strengthening emotional capacity to shift thinking and better manage struggles.

My communication style

I want you to feel comfortable and safe in therapy. Sessions are client-led—I follow your lead and fully support your process. I co-create a strong therapeutic alliance through warmth, friendliness, humor, and genuine interest in getting to know you on a deeper level.

My journey to mental healthcare

From an early age, I wanted to be in a helping profession. Through education, training, and personal experiences, becoming a psychologist became my calling. Being present and supporting individuals through difficult situations has been rewarding and life-changing.

My goals for you

We work together to understand your concerns and current situation, developing therapeutic goals collaboratively so everyone knows the course of treatment. For children and teens, I recommend parent involvement to support their child. We reevaluate goals throughout to ensure they remain relevant.

Our first session

The first session involves a comprehensive assessment gathering background history, reason for referral, and current concerns. I actively listen and build rapport to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment. For children and teens, I gather additional information from parents to understand their perspective.
