Giselle Ortiz, LMFT — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Giselle!

If you’re struggling with relationships, feeling disconnected, or caught in the same cycles, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a dually licensed LMFT & LCSW specializing in relationship therapy. I help individuals understand themselves, process emotions, grow within relationships, and heal from breakups.

My focus

I primarily work with adults navigating relationship concerns, communication difficulties, attachment wounds, breakups, and patterns that leave them feeling disconnected or stuck. I also support clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, and emotional distress related to their relationships.

My approach

I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath your emotions and relationship patterns, and work toward creating healthier, more fulfilling connections.

My communication style

You can expect a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you'll feel heard and understood. I balance empathy with gentle guidance, helping you slow down, make sense of your emotions, and feel more confident in expressing your needs when navigating relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because of my deep interest in relationships, emotional connection, and the ways our experiences shape how we connect with others. I am driven by helping people understand themselves more deeply, heal relational patterns, and build healthier, more meaningful connections.

My goals for you

Your therapy goals are meant to be meaningful and purposeful. Together, we’ll identify what you want to understand, process, change, or strengthen, and then we'll create a set of realistic goals that fit your lifestyle. I’ll help you stay focused while making space for the emotions and patterns that may be getting in the way.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance to slow down, feel comfortable and share what brought you to therapy. We’ll talk about your concerns, relationships, goals, and what you hope to get from therapy. My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, supported, and never judged.
