As a therapist, I work not as a "shrink" but an "enhancer," helping clients work through past problems, engage the challenges of the present, and move towards a more fulfilling future. I am client-focused rather than technique-focused because each client-therapist relationship is unique, and techniques should be employed selectively to optimize change and growth. That said, clients can expect that I will:
1) Act as a strong ally, adding emotional and intellectual energy to their efforts to change,
2) Provide insight and fresh perspective that takes them beyond their usual patterns of perceiving and responding to life circumstances.

I am always curious about how we become who we are and as someone once told me, “A person who enters therapy is an experience that wants to happen not a problem to be solved.” My focus is to encourage people to stay curious and open to possibilities of learning more about themselves, creating a supportive safe environment that supports positive movement and change. I stress the importance seeing oneself fully, psychologically, physically and spiritually. All these are important ways of supporting one’s life. I see myself as warm, present, accessible and being of help to accomplish this.

I have devoted my professional life to making the lives of my patients and their parents healthier and happier. I wrote a syndicated column on parenting for The Los Angeles Times, appeared on hundreds of television and radio shows to impart mental health information and lectured extensively. However, what makes me so successful in changing lives and keeping kids safe, is not simply education and experience, it is genuine connection, involvement and care. Above all, my heart lies in helping young people and their parents, one person at a time.

I listen with with empathy and reflect back my authentic response. I work best with people who are open to expanding their blind areas and their potential for growth in a supportive manner. Learning about the 'plumbing' of the nervous system can be helpful or finding a metaphor for change or discussing the latest science in psychology. I feel comfortable and confident with a wide range of issues and concerns. Over the years I have developed strong Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques for adults and complimentary expressive arts therapy techniques for youth.

I emphasize psychoeducation about the role of, and differences between, thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

Hi!
My name is Dr. David Luis Ortega. I work with families of teens who are significantly struggling. These difficulties can include self-harm, dysregulation, suicidality, depression, and difficulties staying in school. Often the teen will meet criteria (or display traits) for adolescent Borderline Personality Disorder. I will meet with the teen and parent(s) for family therapy, and sometimes meet with parent(s) only for parent coaching.
Usually the teen has a therapist of their own with whom I closely collaborate. Sessions are goal driven to hold myself accountable for progress and change. I'm here to help!
