Zina Ortiz, LPC

I hold a Masters degree (MA) in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara. My trainings include completion of trainings and certification of EMDR at the Maiberger Institute in Boulder, CO, REBT at the Albert Ellis Institute in New York, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Rapid Resolution Therapy with Dr Jon Connelly, The Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (a branch of Internal Family Systems), Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, and Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Therapy. I have enhanced my knowledge and education with therapeutic methods I have experienced, and have achieved a successful degree of recovery. I use them in my practice because I believe in their efficacy. Please see my Resource page for more information. I have walked the walk! This also does not need to be a lengthy process. Truth be told talk therapy has its value, and that is to understand what has happened, and have adverse experiences validated, though it is not an effective method for addressing trauma, anxiety and depression.
