About Dr. Carlos D. Ortiz
Dr. Carlos D. Ortiz is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York with more than 15 years of professional experience working across ages and treatment settings. He also holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology, a doctoral degree that reflects advanced training in psychological assessment and treatment. Over the course of his career he has provided services to children involved in foster care, adults, couples and families, law enforcement personnel, elite athletes from the NBA and NFL, VIPs, corporate executives, and veterans.
Ortiz brings perspectives shaped by his background as a man of color, a Marine Corps veteran, a retired blue-collar worker, and a father of two adult sons now in their 30s. He highlights these life experiences to reach men who face pressures at work, in the military, or at home, acknowledging how roles and cultural complexity can make personal growth difficult. At the same time, much of his clinical practice has focused on working with women, including those who are primary caregivers in single-parent households.
His clinical specialties include support for stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD, and he also addresses related concerns such as adoption and foster care issues, infidelity, jealousy, and first responder challenges. Ortiz’s therapeutic approach emphasizes creating an open and nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored. He works to support and empower people as they take the steps toward a more fulfilling and happier life.
In addition to his clinical and academic training, Ortiz holds a bachelor’s degree and has years of experience in pastoral counseling for those seeking Bible-based guidance. He offers treatment in both English and Spanish and is currently accepting clients in New York.
