I specialize in working with adults, children, adolescents, families and couples with a focus on relationship issues and anxiety and depression. I have many years experience working with substance abusers and their families. I am trained in adolescent and child psychotherapy and work with parents as an integral part of their treatment.

People have an inherent capacity for growth and healing, however, there are times when we may become stuck or stagnant. As a therapist, my role is to facilitate a person’s natural trend toward development, building upon strengths and resolving internal or external obstacles to living a healthy and fulfilling life. In my work, I aim to create a supportive and accepting environment, tailored to the needs of each client. Understanding that the individual is the expert of their experience, I will take my cues from you in terms of how we work through your specific difficulties together.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy. I received my doctorate from Adelphi University and work with children, adolescents, and adults. I also have experience and clinical training in CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) with a focus on treating depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, loss, and personality disorders. I focus on helping improve emotion regulation difficulties, interpersonal problems, behavioral dysregulation, and issues related to women's health/ motherhood, particularly maternal loss and adjustment to motherhood, including the emotions, anxieties, and stressors involved in navigating this complex life transition.

Hola/Hello! My name is Gabriela Ortiz (She/Ella) and I am a bilingual art therapist, clinical supervisor and artist merging art therapy, talk therapy, and culturally sensitive treatment through a client centered approach. I have 15 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families coping with a variety of experiences including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, domestic violence, issues with self-esteem, stressful life transitions and challenges due to immigration.

I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration, discovery, and healing. By utilizing unconditional positive acceptance, my goal is to help clients add to their social and emotional knowledge so they can navigate through difficulties in ways that foster self-esteem, well-being, and growth.

My approach is a supportive, interactive one that aims to help people better understand their thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Ultimately my goal is to establish a collaborative dialogue that offers a safe place to examine current challenges alongside past formative experiences.

I see therapy as a journey that you have control over. My goal as your therapist is to provide guidance and support across this journey in a collaborative and open way. My training is primarily in behavior based therapies, which is psychobabble for helping you build skills and awareness to create meaningful change in your life. I approach my sessions with clients following your lead first and meeting you where you are along your journey. While therapy can be challenging and taking the first step is never easy, I hope to provide a safe, warm and sometimes fun environment for you to meet your goals. You can create the change you want.

Whether you want healthier relationships, greater academic/career success, a calmer and more positive outlook on life, or any therapeutic goal, entering therapy can be the first step in enriching your life and the relationships that give it meaning. I can help you with developing communication and processing transitions that may be challenging you. I am also skilled at helping teens cope with emotions in healthier ways.

I am a Marriage and Family Psychotherapist in private practice in Brooklyn for over thirty years and formerly Director of Family Services at a large, multi-modal, private counseling center in Manhattan. Although continuing to work with individuals, for the last twenty years my continued training and professional focus has been on couples, children, and families as it became increasingly clear that engaging the family group was so much more effective and efficient. This comes not merely from having the additional information, but from being able to mobilize the inherent strength of the family and its' intrinsic, natural movement towards growth.

Are you feeling tired, depressed or can’t keep up with your daily routine, have relational skill deficits, need to strengthen your marriage, become a realistic parent, or just need to take a journey into self-awareness? We are here to assist you, preventative or corrective, in your self-improvement and/or self-empowerment pursuits.

Throughout my time as a psychotherapist, I have counseled clients of all ages enduring a vast array of challenges, including anxiety, depression, identity development, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, and trauma. I provide therapy to couples and individuals, always operating from a supportive and strengths-based approach that encourages my clients to be active participants in their own treatment. In my work, I draw from a variety of modalities that include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

Patients that I meet with will receive a full range of psychotherapy services. I provide parenting counseling, relationship counseling, cognitive therapy, group therapy, psychoanalysis, and anger management. Psychotherapy is available for issues including anxiety, depression, substance abuse as well as eating disorders, couples therapy, individual and family therapy. HIV pre and post counseling, postpartum depression, court mandated treatment, phobias/panic attack, autism, Asperger, ADHD/ ADD, and OCD are a few of the presenting issues I specialize in with over 40 years of experience.

Are you a couple struggling to be heard and reaching for connection? Are you dealing with anxiety over a recent life transition? As a clinical therapist in DUMBO, I specialize in helping individuals cope with anxiety, couples in conflict increase positive interactions, and those going through life transitions find confidence. I also offer family therapy skills to children and parents struggling with behavioral challenges. We help those who feel stuck in patterns that don't seem to be working anymore by providing a safe, trustworthy and collaborative environment that works towards a sense of self-efficacy and change.

I like to begin by creating a safe space for you to be vulnerable as you embark on this journey to address things in your life, relationships and from your past that have you feeling “stuck”. My specialty is working with the individual (s) to explore behavioral patterns that lead to problem areas to increase insight, motivation and a sense of agency to take on change. I do not see individuals as problem but rather as people with problems. Problems are temporary. Let’s begin this journey.....to discovering to best version of yourself.

Are you caught in a stressful cycle of conflict in your relationship? Does it feel as if you and your loved one(s) are repeating the same pattern? Let's work together to change this. I can help you to discover how unspoken communication, past experiences, and beliefs, may be influencing your relationship. We will work together to understand these patterns, and how they aren't serving you. Together, we can develop more effective communication skills and replace the patterns which are holding you back. I believe that therapy should be collaborative, empowering, and solution focused.

It is my belief that seeking help is a courageous step that should be commended. Therapy offers us an opportunity to get to know ourselves, and provides a safe and comfortable space to think about the ways we can make our lives better. In this space, we come to understand the deeper meanings of the problems we face, gain the emotional tools to solve these problems, and become more confident in the decisions we make. Therapy can help to slow life down, and helps us find a place in it that fits who we are.
