Felicia Ortiz, JD MFT

My clients describe me as:

Intersectional AF. Blunt w/a "mama bear" protective streak. Eidetic memory for client stories and pop-culture. Sarcastic. Cerebral.

Something to know about my approach is:

I’m a Narrative Conductor, making harmonious my clients’ understandings of the world & their internal understandings of themselves. Narratives are the means by which we formulate understanding about ourselves and our world. What are your narratives?

Together, we will:

What your narratives say about you, what they keep you from seeing clearly, and how can they work for/not against you. To survive in this world, we also must also be aware of the tales of our culture and how others take you in.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are BIPOC, queer, latine/a/x, direct, multicultural, multilingual or multiethnic, enjoy an inside joke, get bored easily, want to dig deep, are interested in the shadow, go over other people's heads, can spot what is wrong and can't not point it out.

I became a therapist because:

I used to be in corporate law... I quickly moved to mediation and then marriage and family therapy, I realized I was always a therapist even in law.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am virtual - we will either meet in the redwoods or in the wine country of northern California. My offices look out on either water or forest scape.

More about me and my practice:

I have a B.A., M.A., J.D, and am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. My goal is to help you find your harmony by assisting as you connect with the lessons you were meant to learn and for which your talents and skills are perfectly crafted.
