Art Therapy in Brooklyn, NY

Hola/Hello! My name is Gabriela Ortiz (She/Ella) and I am a bilingual art therapist, clinical supervisor and artist merging art therapy, talk therapy, and culturally sensitive treatment through a client centered approach. I have 15 years experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families coping with a variety of experiences including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, domestic violence, issues with self-esteem, stressful life transitions and challenges due to immigration.

Welcome to a space where your story matters, and your journey is honored. Together, through collaborative sessions and personalized strategies, we'll unlock the door to real change. If you're ready to embark on a path where authenticity and progress converge, I'm here to walk alongside you.

Beginning a therapy journey can feel overwhelming, but ultimately the goal is to help you feel better and acquire more adaptive coping skills to lead a more fulfilling life. This process is unique to each individual. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or are a parent looking for extra support for your child, your needs and issues will be discussed with empathy and care. Together, we will build attainable goals to help you express yourself in empowering, healing and transformative ways.

In the first session, we’ll establish clear goals for what you’d like to focus on and begin creating the road map for doing so. The trajectory of the deeper work reflects the needs of each individual; I feel that my job is to listen to you and provide what you need in the moment, whether it’s a kind ear, more direct guidance, or both. I am always looking to stay current on contemporary perspectives and approaches in clinical practice, particularly in regard to changing views on trauma, women’s experiences, and the mental health of marginalized communities.

I am a therapist who strives to create a safe space for my clients to freely express themselves. I provide a judgment-free environment to facilitate clients’ self-exploration, self-expression, and growth.

I am offering support for clients who struggle with anxiety, professional stress, immigrant mental health, women's issues, and depression. If you are a person who is interested in exploring how their identity impacts their life, then therapy with me might be helpful. I utilize a trauma informed lens in all aspects of my work and I also aim to support other BIPOC individuals in navigating their mental health. Interest in or a willingness to try art therapy and holistic/somatic interventions is a plus.

I enjoy working with couples who are interested in an open / polyamorous relationship. I have found that short-term therapy can be incredibly useful in setting up these types of arrangements when boundaries, trust, and communication are paramount. I also work with couples who are struggling with these issues in closed relationships. It is my goal to help you develop mutual respect, understanding, and empathic communication. The individuals that I work most effectively with are those experiencing a big life transition (new baby, divorce, job, graduation, etc) with challenges coping or have unresolved trauma of their past bubbling up

Showing up for yourself is incredibly important, however prioritizing your own needs is often easier said than done. It can be especially challenging if you already feel stressed, anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, and/or lost. Through the therapeutic process, together we can navigate life transitions, explore difficult emotions, resolve conflicts, build on strengths, enhance coping skills, increase self-satisfaction, and gain new insights.

I provide a safe and comfortable space for clients and believe that the creative processes can be used in combination with other interventions including psychodynamic psychotherapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness - engaging in a collaborative approach to best serve the client. As an art therapist, I have witnessed clients who have been able to process and communicate through art in ways where words may not have done justice to their feelings and experiences. I also understand that art therapy might not be for all and can support clients who wish to engage in talk therapy without including creative interventions.
