Hi, I am Matthew Ortega! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the beautiful, sunny state of California with nearly 15 years of experience working with clients in the community. Are you longing for more right now? Is ADHD executive dysfunction ruling your day? Are you needing help coping with a new diagnosis of Bipolar disorder or OCD? Or are you looking for a safe place to discuss topics with your spouse, validate your feelings and restore your relationship to its former glory? I help empower individuals and couples of all ages and relationship statuses to overcome their obstacles and live a happy and fulfilling life. I use an educational and interactive approach to elevate and validate you. My approach offers cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, harm reduction, and trauma-informed perspectives as needed for YOUR unique situation. Together we dig deep to bring forth your most rewarding and fulfilling life. I take pride in leaving the stigmatizing labels at the door, here you are welcomed as you are! I believe it takes great strength and courage to take the first step in connecting with a therapist. My goal is to make you comfortable and empowered throughout the entire experience. If you’re ready to make the commitment and put in the honest effort to dig deep and blossom, then I am here to support you! I look forward to working with you and building this relationship!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where you feel heard, understood, and respected. I understand that reaching out for therapy can be a significant step, and I commend you for taking it. My approach is collaborative, meaning we work together to identify your goals and tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Ultimately, my clinical goal is to help empower individuals and couples of all ages and relationship statuses to overcome their obstacles and live a happy and fulfilling life. I use an educational and interactive approach to elevate and validate you. My approach offers cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused, harm reduction, and trauma-informed perspectives, as needed, for YOUR unique situation. Together we dig deep to bring forth your most rewarding and fulfilling life. I take pride in leaving the stigmatizing labels at the door, here you are welcomed as you are!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My strengths lie in education and collaboration. With ample years of experience with clients of all ages, I can directly tailor and adapt my treatment plan around your own unique needs. We will dig deep and bring out parts of you that you may have never known existed, as well as work through the parts that you may have wished didn’t exist. We will use an interactive and educational approach to work together as a cohesive team where the main goal is your success. I will strengthen you and challenge you along the way to truly unlock the best version of yourself.
