Victoria Kalinina Ortega, LMSW, CASAC

College is a time of growth, but it can also feel incredibly overwhelming. Taking that first step toward therapy is a courageous act of self-care, especially when you are balancing classes, social pressure, and the transition to adulthood. I specialize in helping students and young adults navigate complex challenges, including depression, anxiety, substance use, and relationship issues. Whether you are struggling with anger management, feeling "stuck," or just seeking better emotional regulation, I am here to help you find your footing.

In our sessions, we move beyond simply managing symptoms to empowering you to become your best self. We will develop personalized coping strategies tailored to your unique schedule and needs. My goal is to help you:
- Boost Self-Esteem: Silence the inner critic and build genuine confidence.
- Unlock Potential: Turn academic and personal pressure into fuel for growth.
- Build Resilience: Transform daily challenges into opportunities for strength.

You My passion is seeing you heal through a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship. I create a safe, nurturing, and judgment-free environment where you can explore your needs—whether that involves substance use concerns, identity questions, or family stress.

You don’t have to figure this out alone. Please reach out today to schedule a complimentary consultation call. Let’s start building the life (and the semester) you deserve.
