About me

Hello and welcome! I am Johnna Ortega, Licensed professional counselor with 18 years counseling experience. My experience includes working with adults, teens, families, couples and children. I am highly trained in trauma treatment and in the treatment of anxiety, depression, family and relationship difficulties. I also have specialized training in parenting skills. I love my work and find great pleasure in helping individuals and family's to find their unique path to wellness and happiness.
I use an eclectic approach to counseling because I do not feel that one approach is best for all Clients. I am highly trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Play Therapy and parenting skills. I graduated from Southern Nazarene University with the highest honors. I received a Master of Science degree in 2002 and have worked in varied settings including inpatient, outpatient, foster care and more. I currently have my own practice. I am a mother of four adult children and am blessed with grandchildren. I feel my maturity benefits my Clients.
It would be my pleasure to work with you. Thank you.

Johnna was absolutely helpful. Was able to open up completely to her. She would give me great advice in how to manage my anxiety. When I needed her to listen she would.

I feel 100% comfortable with her. She’s helpful, practical, patient, and even from the first session I’ve noticed greater self assurance and emotional clarity in my daily life. So thankful.
