Paola Ortiz M.A., LMFT offers inclusive and supportive therapy for individuals, couples, and families in English and Spanish.

I enjoy working with clients who identify as part of marginalized identities and communities, such as LGBTQIA+ folx and anyone impacted by multicultural and immigration-related experiences. More specifically, I have a passion for working with womxn to strengthen their relationships and empower them to find their voices, BIPOC clients to explore topics of racial, cultural, and immigratory background as it relates to their current issues and identity, and multicultural relationships during various stages of life. Disfruto trabajar con clientes que se identifican como parte de identidades y comunidades marginadas, como personas LGBTQIA+ y cualquier persona afectada por experiencias multiculturales y relacionadas con la inmigración. Más específicamente, tengo una pasión por trabajar con mujeres para fortalecer sus relaciones y capacitarlas para encontrar sus voces, clientes de BIPOC para explorar temas de origen racial, cultural e inmigratorio en relación con sus problemas e identidad actuales, y relaciones multiculturales durante varias etapas de la vida.
