My name is Ana Ortiz, I have a doctor degree in Clinical Psychology since 2007. I have experience working with individuals form ages 18 and up. I have been in Texas since 2019. I feel comfortable working with behavioral tools that can help to address mental health issues to help my patients to be mindful about how they feed their brain; to motivate them to start to build a more joyful life road. Finally I can also provide services in Spanish. Mi nombre es Ana Ortiz, poseo un grado doctoral en Psicología Clínica completado en el 2007.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is the most important part of the psychotherapy treatment, first its starts to build up the therapeutic alliance, second, I understand what is the motivation for the individual to reach out therapy, third I provide time to review bio-psycho-social information, fourth I made an clinical impression diagnosis and finally set to guides for treatment. I always like the quote that "with a on point diagnosis comes good guides to understand patient needs to develop an individualized treatment plan."

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a psychotherapist is to treat everybody with kindness, be an active listener and in every session I like to motivate individuals to "think about their thoughts more."

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Has been trained on behavioral techniques. Like to included the mindfulness component by acknowledging negative automatic thoughts then challenging them in order to promote change.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Challenging and understanding out thoughts on this behavioral technique is important to understand how we are feeding out brain.

Gottman method

When it comes to the best method to offer couples therapy will be following the teachings of John and July Gottman, by promoting in couples better communication patters by talking about their needs, offering examples and also not making assumptions. In words of them I always go to the quote that: "A Good Relationship Is A Conversation That Never Ends."
