When life shifts in ways you never expected, it can feel overwhelming to carry it all on your own.

Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel supported, and gently make sense of what you’re moving through.

I bring a grounded, caring presence to help you reconnect with yourself, strengthen your resilience, and find steadiness along the way.

I’m Kylie Pedersen-Ortiz, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience supporting people and families through life’s most challenging and transformative seasons. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, rooted in the belief that with thoughtful support, even the most difficult experiences can be navigated.

I specialize in grief and loss, the emotional impact of serious illness and new diagnoses, reproductive and maternal mental health, and unexpected life transitions. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a space where you can feel supported, understood, and less alone.

Clients often share a sense of relief in having a space where they can show up exactly as they are and feel met with care, understanding, and respect.

What You Can Expect

Beginning therapy is a meaningful step, and finding the right fit is an important part of the process. We’ll start with a free consultation to ensure you feel comfortable moving forward and that my approach aligns with what you’re looking for.

In our first sessions, we’ll spend time getting to know what brings you in and what you’ve been carrying. We’ll talk about what you’d like to feel different, identify goals that feel realistic and meaningful, and begin to understand the patterns, stressors, or losses that may be impacting you. From there, we’ll begin to shape our work together at a pace that feels supportive and manageable, meeting you where you are.

In each session, you can expect a calm, respectful space where you can speak openly and be met with steadiness and care. Our work is collaborative and tailored to you, balancing thoughtful reflection with practical support to help you navigate challenges, build resilience, and gain clarity over time.

Insurance & Reimbursement

I offer private-pay therapy and provide superbills for clients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement. This structure allows me to keep my practice focused on high-quality care, personalized attention, and a sustainable pace, so I can show up fully for each client.

To make navigating insurance easier, I partner with Mentaya, a secure platform, to help you quickly check your out-of-network benefits and estimate reimbursement. This gives you clear, upfront information about your coverage so you can focus on your care, not the paperwork.

You don’t have to navigate this season alone.
