Vicky Ortega Tovar, LCPC, LPC — Therapist in Kansas

Hi there, I'm Vicky!

I am deeply committed to fostering positive change and empowerment in your life. I believe in accessible mental health services and strive to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where you can grow and heal.

My focus

I support women through all aspects of life, with a special connection to moms-to-be and new moms navigating the transition to motherhood and parenting. I also enjoy working with children, teens, and college students.

My approach

I work from a person-centered approach to create a safe space where you can be open. Our time together focuses on you—processing emotions, understanding behaviors, learning coping skills, and feeling heard. I blend empathy and evidence-based approaches to offer personalized care for depression, anxiety, life transitions, and other concerns.

My communication style

I’m not the “just nod and take notes” type. I’ll gently challenge you when needed, but always with empathy and warmth. My goal is for you to feel safe, seen, and genuinely supported.

My goals for you

We’ll start by talking about what’s most important to you right now, not what you should be doing. From there, we’ll set small, meaningful goals that fit your pace and capacity. I’ll help you stay accountable while celebrating the small wins that lead to bigger change. I help guide, but you hold the power of where you want to go.

Our first session

Our first session is all about getting to know you. We’ll talk about what brought you here, what’s been weighing on you, and what you hope to get out of therapy. There’s no pressure. It’s simply a conversation where we start mapping out what healing can look like for you.
