Laura Ortiz

ASW

In my over 16 years as a Social Work practitioner and as an experienced bilingual therapist
(English-Spanish) ACSW, I have had the opportunity to work with many diverse populations
with numerous mental and emotional health concerns. This includes working with families,
teens, young adults, seniors, veterans and bilingual individuals to address their presenting life
challenges which can range from various traumas such as physical/mental/emotional abuse,
substance use, involvement in the juvenile dependency and criminal justice system, domestic
violence and numerous other issues.
I strive to match the best therapeutic technique for each client with a goal to understand and conquer challenging behaviors and thoughts, mood difficulties, depression, anxiety, and stress in the safe environment I provide. My style of therapy can be described as relaxed, humorous, and compassionate.
