Hello! I'm Taylor Ortiz, a licensed professional counselor specializing in helping young adults navigate their mental and emotional well-being. My approach is rooted in understanding how you connect with yourself, your emotions, and the world around you. Together, we'll explore your unique experiences and co-create meaningful goals that foster your personal growth.

In our initial sessions, we'll explore your history and identify your goals for therapy. As we move forward, we'll take an integrative approach—addressing the mind, body, and spirit to promote a transformative healing experience.

I’m deeply passionate about this work because it allows me to guide clients in understanding the connection between their brain, nervous system, and emotions. This empowers them to cultivate self-awareness and make positive, lasting changes toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Groups

G-TEP (Group EMDR)

Hosted by

Taylor Ortiz

The Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) is a structured, group-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma. It provides a safe space to explore how trauma has impacted your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, without reliving the traumatic event itself. Through guided steps, G-TEP helps you reframe your experience, reduce emotional distress, and integrate the healing process.

G-PEP (Empowering Parents Group with EMDR)

Hosted by

Taylor Ortiz

The G-PEP therapy group supports parents navigating stress and adversity while raising children with traumatic histories. Combining tools like the 'Wheel of Parenting' (Gómez) and elements from G-TEP (E. Shapiro) and DIR (Leeds & Korn), the group helps parents enhance emotional regulation, mentalization, and connection with their child. Through metaphors and imagery, parents learn how to better respond to their child’s needs and process struggles that may hinder their ability to engage effectively. This group offers both parenting education and therapeutic support, empowering parents to feel more confident and connected in their parenting journey.
