GUADALUPE ORTIZ, SAC-IT Guadalupeo@ourgentherapy.com Substance Abuse Counselor / Service Facilitator Hello! I'm a dedicated Substance Abuse Counselor who specializes in evidence-based and person-centered approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and holistic health recovery. Driven by the belief that everyone deserves the chance to build a life that feels meaningful and worth living, I'm passionate about empowering clients to reconnect with their strengths, heal at their own pace, and move toward long-term recovery. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy traveling, painting, reading fantasy novels, hiking, journaling, scrapbooking, movies at the cinema, and lounging around with my two cats.
