Christen Ortiz

Christen Ortiz was born and raised in Los Angeles. After growing up in competitive gymnastics, and coaching for almost 20 years, she moved into veterinary medicine where she spent 14-years before deciding to follow one of her dreams and move to Hawaii. By 2016, she had learned that if she could pick up and move to an island by herself, she could do anything and moved back to LA to pursue her passion for mental health. In the final year of earning her BA in Psychology, which she completed in 2019, she found Silver Lake Psychology where she signed on as an intake coordinator before being promoted to Practice Director. Thanks in large part to her caring nature, it has been a fantastic fit for both her and the practice and she's proud to call SLP her professional home. When she's not caring for clients, helping guide our coordinators, or helping grow the business, Christen loves going to movies, concerts, spending time with friends and family, and being near the ocean. She's also a proud dog mom and habitual animal lover.
