Hi, I’m Sarah Ortiz, a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I support adults navigating anxiety, trauma, addiction recovery, life transitions, and burnout—especially those in high-pressure or caregiving roles. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

I understand the emotional weight carried by those who show up for others every day, often without space to process their own needs. Whether we’re working through a critical incident or everyday stress, I offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

I often work with clients experiencing racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, or feeling disconnected from themselves and their values. Authenticity is central to my approach—I aim to show up as a real person so you can too.

I offer virtual therapy throughout the week and in-person sessions on Fridays only in Tampa for clients who prefer face-to-face work.
