I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counselor Intern at Dr. Christy Kane's office providing therapy for individuals, couples, and families. My previous profession of 20+ years was in technology with a BS degree in Business Management & Marketing. I spent most my time developing and mentoring individuals and teams successfully achieving goals. I returned to school in 2020 to get a MS degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with my goal of helping others live happier and more fulfilling lives.

Hello, my name is Luz Mariscal Ortiz. I am currently enrolled in the Marriage and Family Therapy Master’s program at Utah Valley University. I’m doing my internship at Beehive Child and Family Counseling.

Each client who enters my office desires deeper personal connections, less stress and more hope. When tragedy strike, and you find yourself facing depression, anxiety, or dark thoughts, then I'd like you to begin a mental health journey with me. We're all part of the human condition and we have to learn how to keep our brains healthy and heal when needed.

I enjoy working with people in many stages of life, and working with individuals, couples, and families. Many people come to me with an idea of where they struggle but don't know where to begin a journey of healing. I love to helping people to find healing on their spiritual journeys, recognizing the joys and pains of the church and difficulties in finding spiritual fulfillment. He believes no matter where you are on your spiritual journey it can have relevance in the therapeutic process.

Throughout life we are faced with a variety of challenges that sometimes need more support than our friends and family can provide for us. This does not mean that we are broken. We may need the insight of a professional we can trust to help guide us through these difficult times in our lives. I would love to work collaboratively with you to help you discover your strengths and develop new tools to get you through your difficult times.

Philosophy of Care: I approach the therapeutic relationship as an essential part of the healing process. Life can present us with many challenges. Many of us pass through experiences that can impact our emotional stability and create struggles to connect with ourselves and with others. I work within the context of the therapeutic setting with a comprehensive approach. I utilize many of the theoretical orientations that I have learned through my years of being a healing practitioner. As a therapist, I strive to assist my clients in increasing their overall quality of life.

Depression/anxiety, children/family work, trauma, and couples counseling are my areas of focus. Many find my comfortable warm nature to be helpful in their journey of healing. You can get to know me and see my style on my popular instagram account: www.instagram.com/parenting.resilience. I bring a lot experience to the table being a former TV reporter now Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervisor, and a Registered Play Therapist (Association for Play Therapy). I have practiced for over 13 years in several cities across the U.S. such as San Francisco, Boston and now Highland.

I believe that each person has the potential to live the life they truly want and that lasting change is possible. As a strengths-based therapist, client's strengths are built on and utilized in therapy to help the client work through the difficulties they are experiencing. I create a space where you can tell me anything without fear of judgment or me telling you how you should live life. Therapy is an interactive process and it shouldn’t look the same for each person. In addition to talk-therapy, I believe each person responds to different techniques and many times this includes use of music, art, and experiential interventions.

EMDR & TELEHEALTH! Trauma healing, holistic wellness, self-empowerment, stress management, balance, spirituality, and living authentically are at the core of my practice. My wellness awakening is about your ability to transform, grow, change, connect, and create a new pattern of thinking that aligns with your personal life vision. It is my hope that our meeting would be an opportunity for you to discover what it is you want in life and how to create the shifts within yourself to get to where you want to be. I look forward to experiencing life from your perspective and hope to help illuminate within you whatever you are seeking.

For 20 years I have provided compassionate, expert care to individuals of all ages, couples and families as an integrative cognitive behavioral therapist (CBT). My goal as your therapist is to help you improve what is already working, gain tools for what isn't and reduce pain and suffering immediately. You will consistently leave my office with tools you can implement in your daily life and relationships. I see therapy as an opportunity to slow down the frantic pace of life and explore ways to cope, regain control of life's challenges and rebuild or enrich relationships.
