Welcome, Hero! Believe it or not, you are the hero of your story. Like any good story, there are fears, challengers, and uncertainties that must be faced. There are also new revelations, skills, and resources that must be gained. In any crisis, there is opportunity for growth and discovery. In every act of destruction, there is opportunity for creativity.

Does it feel like stress, anxiety, trauma, or chronic pain have hijacked your life?

Are you overwhelmed by negative thoughts, strong emotional reactions, physical dis-ease, and unhelpful coping behaviors?

Are you tired of living in “survival mode” and feeling stuck in the past, afraid of the future, and disconnected from what you value most in the present moment?

Take a deep breath. You are in the right place.

I’m Tierra Ortiz-Rodriguez

I believe you have the medicine you need within. Let’s mobilize your inner resources for mind-body healing and awaken your Inner Hero.

I look forward to teaching you new skills and helping you design a holistic program that integrates your mind, body, heart, and soul for neuroplasticity and nervous system regulation. Let’s mobilize your self-healing abilities!

I provide therapy for anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain based on principles of mind-body medicine. Integrative therapy with me will empower you to make choices and changes that bring you into greater balance, health, and authenticity.

An African proverb says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." Let's go far and grow far together. I would love to support you on your Hero’s Journey to healing.

How I Can Help:
Integrative Mind-Body Therapies

  • person receiving ART with eye movement bilateral stimulation

    ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY

    ART is a creative, evidence-based therapy designed for the rapid resolution of anxiety, trauma, and stress using bilateral eye movements and memory reconsolidation. ART allows you to neutralize triggers and rehearse success in the virtual reality of your mind.

    PAIN REPROCESSING THERAPY

    Many forms of chronic pain are not caused by physical or structural problems in the body but by the misfiring of pain circuits in the brain. Pain Reprocessing therapy is a mind-body therapy for disrupting the pain-fear cycle and retraining the brain to feel safe.

  • nature trail with bench and trees

    ECOTHERAPY/OUTDOOR THERAPY

    Take your therapy outdoors and discover surprising insights and inspired solutions while practicing mindfulness in nature and being grounded in your body. Research shows nature-based, “walk and talk” therapy offers mental and physical health benefits simultaneously.

    SCHEMA THERAPY

    Schema therapy is a Cognitive Behavior Therapy informed by attachment theory and inner parts work that helps you break maladaptive patterns keeping you stuck.

    MINDFULNESS-BASED THERAPY

    Mindfulness is paying attention nonjudgmentally to what’s happening right now with your emotions, thoughts, sensations, and automatic reactions. Mindfulness skills help you see yourself and the world in calm, clear, and fresh ways so that you can access your creative wisdom to respond.

Cognitive behavior therapy, schema therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches are available to support your cognitive health.

We will explore your thoughts, beliefs, and the quality of awareness you bring to situations. You will learn to challenge negative thought patterns, let go of false beliefs and internalized voices, and build healthy attitudes and cognitive flexibility.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy and SoulCollage® are additional tools in your mental health toolbox for supporting cognitive change at the level of images, metaphors, and stories.

I also offer Pain Reprocessing Therapy for treating neuroplastic pain by rewiring the neural pathways involved in the pain-fear cycle. Neuroplastic pain is caused by the brain.

Your body and emotions are highly sensitive detectors of wellness and dis-ease.

I incorporate somatic practices to support you in creating and sustaining habits that are aligned with your values and conducive to your health and wellness.

We will explore somatic meditation, grounding, emotional freedom technique, and many other “bottom-up” approaches for supporting your physical and emotional health, such as nature connection and ecotherapy.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy also helps process and resolve troubling emotions and sensations stored in the body related to stress and trauma. Pain Reprocessing Therapy teaches you how to Disarm the Alarm and Access Safety by turning toward sensations and emotions through a lens of safety.

We will dive into topics of passion, play, and purpose. We will pay special attention to your dreams and creative stirrings. We will explore the soul-tending practices of working with breakage and repair and coming to know “survival as a creative act.”

I invite an array of expressive arts into the therapeutic adventure for getting to know your inner wisdom and authentic inner voice. Discover your unique resilience and resourcefulness via SoulCollage®, expressive writing, dreamwork, and more.
