Sandy Ortiz

My communication style

During our work together, you can expect me to be honest and non-judgmental. I’ll meet you where you are with acceptance, compassion, and patience so that you can open up when you feel ready to do so. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable/safe space where we can build trust, discuss feedback, and collaborate on your goals for treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist stemmed from my passion to help others reach their full potential. I sought training to effectively guide clients through self-exploration, identifying desired changes, and uncovering how to use their strengths to accomplish their goals.

My goals for you

I'll support you as you decide what to work on and identify changes you want to make about your health, relationships, or work. We'll process connected emotions and thoughts so you have clarity to set realistic, positive goals. I'll offer feedback and encourage exploration of your approach to challenges and transitions.

Our first session

During our initial session we'll get to know one another, complete your intake, and cover policies and your rights. We'll gather important information to inform our work together and shape your treatment plan. We'll discuss your medical and relational history, as well as your concerns, symptoms, and goals for therapy.
