Fabiola Ortiz

Hello, my name is Fabiola Ortiz and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am passionate about supporting all my clients through their challenges or traumatic experiences and helping them through the healing process. I will help them bring their own unique motivation, capacities, and values to develop the skills for healing and growth.

My approach

I work collaboratively and transparently to create real and lasting results. I keep up to date on the latest treatments relevant to our goals.

My focus

I specialize in alleviating anxiety/depression, improving couple & family relationships, and parenting transitions.

My communication style

I provide a calm and safe environment ensuring empathy, confidentiality, warmth, and caring to help build and maintain a healthy relationship between the client and me.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working with adolescents for 6 years, created an intense interest in me to know how to try to help mitigate the symptoms of sadness and lack of motivation in the lives of them and their families. I also wanted to understand more about the reasons why many Latina adolescents during the period from 12 years to 18 years old became pregnant and did not finish their studies.

My goals for you

Since talking about goals and the future can be overwhelming, I ease into goal setting in a conversation with the client about what interests them. I will consider what they want to achieve, and then commit to it. I will plan with them the steps they must take to realize their goal and will help them to work through them.

My first session with you

I will ask several questions to know the client better. I will ask them for the reasons they are seeking for therapy. I will ask them about their needs or issues they would like to address in their treatment together as well as what they have done to manage their mental health in the past.
