Altamonte Springs, FL 32714 (Online Only)
I am an EFT and EMDR multicultural counselor, sensitive to the processes of acculturation, change, loss, trauma and spirituality.
My objective is to empower you to be all that you can and want to be and to support you in establishing and maintaining balance and attaining joy. Sometimes, that means learning to accept the way things are... Voiding yourself of a nervous, urgent need to be what you are not, or controlling what you cannot. Other times, it means motivating you to move beyond procrastination, uncertainty, confusion, indecision or fear. And others, it means beginning a gentle healing journey through memories of pain and hurt to a new place of wholeness. Please see more at www.ortigao.com

As we move through the stages of life, there may be changes that cause us to be faced with unexpected challenges. These are times it may help to process our experiences with another to decrease emotional distress or to explore different options. It may also help to gain an awareness of how learned behaviors, negative beliefs of self and unresolved issues from the past can affect our mental health. Once these are worked through, it may be easier to appreciate and embrace the here and now. It is important for me to provide a safe and supportive environment where emotions, beliefs, and concerns can be shared and worked through.

Motherhood can be a paradoxical experience – moments of fulfillment, contentment, accompanied by lack of sleep, fear, guilt and many, many questions. Societal messages about “how a good mother should be”, mixed with transgenerational expectations and rules, idealizations, feelings of loss, self-doubt and disbelief can make you feel overwhelmed and question: “Who am I now that I have this baby?”, “Will I be a good-enough mother?”, “Will I ever be able to sleep well again?”, “What about my sexual life?”, “How can I reconcile being a partner, mother and professional”?, “Why do I feel so depressed/ sad/ anxious?”

HABLO ESPAÑOL – Sometimes, life can feel tough, and you may doubt yourself even though you've worked hard to excel. It's normal to have these feelings occasionally, but if left unaddressed, they can become overwhelming. If you're dealing with depression, anxiety, or trauma, it takes courage to seek help. I've been assisting individuals and families since 2007. I've also facilitated couples' groups, coached parents of children with special needs, and worked with adolescents and families on communication.

Multicultural Therapists
What type of therapy is multicultural therapy?
Multicultural therapy is not tied to any specific therapy; rather, it is an overarching approach to therapy that aims to acknowledge and address the influence that factors like race, gender identity, and cultural background can have on someone’s life. Multicultural approaches can be applied to CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and others, and can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, or groups.
What can I expect from multicultural therapy?
Multicultural counseling should be tailored to the client’s unique identity and cultural needs. Such approaches often prioritize the building of trust so that the client feels comfortable exploring various aspects of their identity and any challenges caused by mismatches between their identity and the dominant culture. Beyond that, the format and timeline of therapy will be heavily influenced by the therapist’s preferred therapy approach and the specific problems for which the client sought therapy.
Can multicultural therapy help treat trauma?
Yes. Cultural factors such as racial background, gender identity and or sexuality, and immigration or refugee status can influence both whether someone experiences trauma and how they cope afterward. Multicultural approaches to trauma-informed care will be aware of these influences, helping the client recognize how their response to trauma may be shaped by their cultural background and identify coping mechanisms that take their identity into account.
What are the benefits of seeing a multicultural therapist?
Members of minority groups who seek therapy are sometimes frustrated by providers who don’t understand their cultural background or dismiss the ways in which race, gender, or other facets of their identity influence their lived experience. Seeing a multicultural therapist can help these clients feel seen, understood, and able to develop solutions to life challenges that take their upbringing, beliefs, and past experiences into account.
