Connect with Wendy Ortiz

Many of my clients have told me how different I am from therapists they've had before. I attribute this to my particular education, training, and life experiences. all of which have made me unique in this field. I bring these qualities to every session. Therapy can change people's lives. I know this firsthand. The best therapists work collaboratively with clients, establish good boundaries, draw from a wide breadth of education and personal experience, offer care and comfort, as well as gentle challenges and meaning-making. It's a privilege and an honor to earn trust and work with clients on what is most important to them.

I'm an encouraging and active partner in clients' self-discovery. Among the populations I serve most often are artists, writers, and those who wish to claim those identifiers; single people; queer and/or gender non-conforming people; heterosexual and LGBTQI people. I'm a member of the National Queer and Trans Therapists of Color Network.

My current interests/ongoing studies in the field include transformative mental health, treatment of OCD, gender minority stress, trauma-informed practices, somatic practices, and liberation psychology. You may have tried other therapists or wondered if you'd ever find the right one. Allow me to show you what a positive therapeutic experience can do for you.

I work with a variety of clients who bring various issues such as depression, trauma, or relationship issues to the therapy room. It's so important that a client trusts their therapist and the process. During our initial sessions I work on helping clients gain trust in the process. Many of my clients leave our sessions feeling grounded and hopeful.
