Hola, I am Jennifer P. Ortega and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. What does that mean? A Clinical Social Worker looks at all parts of you. We call it the BIO-Psycho-Social-Spiritual-Environment aspects of your life. This holistic perspective allows me to better identify what might be impacting you and how to support you effectively. With over a decade of experience, I have learned that building a strong rapport with my clients is key to fostering positive change. I understand that finding the right therapist can be a challenging and important decision, as it is a relationship that you want to get right from the start. In our sessions, I will encourage you to step outside of your comfort zone, as this fosters growth, self-awareness, and meaningful processing. Though the journey may be challenging, you are worth it. I look forward to meeting you. Hi, Yo soy Jennifer P. Ortega, y soy una trabajadora social licencianda en psicoterapia. Que significa eso? Una trabajadora social se enfoca en las partes biológicas, sociales, spiritual, y ambiente. Esto le ayuda a la terapista entender áreas en la vida de el cliente. Tengo 10 años en esta práctica. Y lo que yo e aprendido es que la relación entere el cliente y la terapista es el gran motivador para cambio. Yo se que la búsqueda en de un terapista es difícil. Es unas de esas relaciones que quieres que trabaje la primera vez. Pero lo que te puedo decir es que si, te voy a empujar para que salgas de tu área de costumbre. Esto apoya crecimiento, sabiduría en uno mismo como al mismo tiempo ayuda a procesar. Que a uno lo empuje afuera de la costumbre es difícil, pero tus vales! Estoy esperanzada en conocerte.

Carl Jung once said, "One day You will grow up and the world will ask you who You are. If You don't know who you are, the world will quickly tell You." I believe the active choices we make, play a crucial role in shaping our sense of personal satisfaction, emotional confidence, and overall well-being. Changing the story, you tell about yourself, can have a profound impact on how difficult or easy the next few years of your life will be. Will Your story be one of courage, conviction and personal empowerment, or a repetitive tale of powerlessness? Will it be a story of accountability and healing, or shame? You are the only with the power to decide you matter. Empower Your voice. Redesign and refine...Choose freedom.

My name is Willard and I am a licensed counselor in several states. My practice primarily focuses on helping others deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I help others to be okay with things that are beyond their control and work with them to establish themselves as the protagonist in their own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

Hi, I'm Erin! The one thing I love about being a therapist is being able to help individuals break the cycles in their lives that cause them feelings of "being stuck." I utilize a mix of tools/ interventions from Cognitive and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy that allow clients to explore unresolved issues, challenge their thoughts, and develop insight into barriers that can be blocking their growth. My main job as a therapist is to teach my clients how to regain control over their lives whether it's from anxiety, depression or stress; we will work together to come up with a therapeutic style that helps clients progress towards their goals.

"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state-of-mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be. Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together.
