Norma Ortiz, MA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (PRC15238) in the District of Columbia with 6 years of experience working with clients who were struggling with addictions, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, relationship challenges and LGBTQ+ issues. I attended George Washington University and received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am currently living in Seattle, WA. Prior to that, I spent 5 years in Washington DC working in community mental health facilities with individuals who were experiencing chronic mental health issues. As of 2019, I have fully transitioned into the e-counseling world with this exclusively online practice.   Do you feel anxious, lonely, depressed, angry or resentful and struggle to manage your emotions? Do you constantly tell yourself “maybe I’m just an anxious/depressed person and I'm going to feel this way forever"? Do you feel powerless to change at times? I know exactly what you're going through and I'm here to let you know you don't have to continue suffering any longer. With our work together, you can become a master of your emotions and no longer allow your emotions to be the master of you.
