Christine Lustig Ortiz
She/Her
Licensed Therapist, MA, LMFT
About
My nature is calm and easygoing, and I'll bring my authentic self to OCD therapy so you can get help for even your darkest and most intrusive fears. I want to provide you with tools so Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) becomes a natural part of your lifestyle. I will hold you accountable with compassion and understanding — and without pressure. Therapy is hard work, but it's worth every ounce of the effort you put into helping yourself. My other areas of focus include PTSD, trauma adversity, depression, anxiety, grief, eating disorders, and multicultural relationships.
