Pauline Ortiz

Hi, I am a licensed professional clinical counselor based in California. My goal is to help you with life challenges via telehealth and provide tools and education to manage those challenges. I’m here to help you feel more grounded and confident with evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), always tailored to fit your unique experience. From a neurodivergent perspective, I deeply value the importance of honoring different ways of thinking, feeling, and processing the world. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and genuine – I show up as my real self in the therapy room. Outside of work, I enjoy drawing, staying active, wood crafts, and being in nature. I understand firsthand that we all process the world in different ways, and I create space for those differences in therapy. All parts of you are welcome in the therapy space.
