Yanelis Ortiz, LCSW

I am a bilingual, first-generation therapist.
I bring a culturally responsive and compassionate approach to my work with adults, children and families. I understand the challenges of navigating multiple identities, languages, and expectations, therefore I strive to create a safe, affirming space where both clients, children and caregivers feel seen and supported. I completed my clinical internship as a school-based therapist, which deepened my understanding of how emotional, behavioral, and academic needs intersect in a child’s life. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, along with evidence-based modalities like CBT, play therapy and mindfulness.
