About Derek Ortiz
If you’re seeking more than quick fixes—if you’re ready for real, lasting change—Derek may be the therapist for you. A registered tele-psychologist serving Florida residents (ages 10 and up) in both English and Spanish, Derek offers a unique blend of insight-oriented therapy and practical tools to help you create meaningful shifts in your life.
Derek specializes in working with clients who are committed to going beneath the surface—uncovering the roots of long-standing patterns and stepping into true personal growth. His work is grounded in psychodynamic and Jungian approaches, while skillfully integrating CBT, ACT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Existentialism, and coaching techniques when helpful.
Therapy with Derek isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about deep transformation, from the inside out. If you’re ready to invest in yourself and engage fully in the therapeutic process, reach out today to schedule a session.
