Ami Ortiz

When you are carrying heavy responsibilities, navigating complex systems, or trying to hold it together through difficult circumstances, it can feel exhausting to manage it alone. I work with adults, adolescents, and children facing high stress environments, school challenges, system involvement, or the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. My style is open minded, direct, and warm, grounded in over a decade of experience in community mental health, child welfare, work with justice involved youth, and educational settings.

I focus on understanding you as a whole person. Your experiences, relationships, environment, culture, and strengths- these elements all matter when discussing our wellbeing. By looking at the full picture, we can build support that is practical, personalized, and aligned with your real life needs.

In our first session, we will begin exploring how current and past challenges are impacting you. Together, we will identify meaningful goals so our work feels focused and intentional. If you are ready to move toward greater clarity, stability, and wellbeing, I welcome you to reach out.
