Hello, I’m Nayeli Ordonez, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Perinatal Mental Health Certified. My practice addresses a broad spectrum of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, and relationship challenges. With a deep understanding of the unique dynamics within the Latinx community, I navigate the delicate balance of cultural and familial expectations with my clients. As a new mother myself, I bring a compassionate focus to assisting expecting and new mothers through the complexities of postpartum life transitions. I am committed to fostering healing and resilience in my clients' journeys. In therapy, I integrate principles from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These modalities empower clients to develop effective coping strategies and manage emotional and stressful situations.

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

In our initial session, we will explore your presenting concerns, symptoms, and personal history, including family background, medical history, prior therapy experiences, and significant life events. This comprehensive assessment will help inform our treatment strategy and guide us in setting clear, actionable goals.

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

As a therapist, my greatest strengths include a deep sense of empathy and understanding, which helps in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for clients. I excel in active listening, allowing me to grasp the nuances of clients' concerns and emotions. My ability to tailor interventions to meet individual needs ensures that clients receive relevant and effective support. Additionally, my strong problem-solving skills and adherence to professional boundaries contribute to a respectful and productive therapeutic relationship, ultimately aiding clients in achieving their personal goals and enhancing their well-being.

My treatment methods

I use this method to help clients learn to accept their thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change or avoid them. This involves recognizing that difficult emotions and thoughts are a natural part of life.

Attachment-based

I use this to help clients understand and improve the ways they form and maintain relationships based on early attachment experiences.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

I use this to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I use this to help clients with emotional regulation and interpersonal issues. It combines traditional CBT techniques with principles of mindfulness and acceptance.

Interpersonal

I use this to help improve interpersonal relationships and communication skills. Aimed to improve the client’s interpersonal functioning and emotional well-being by addressing and resolving relationship issues and enhancing social skills.
