Cultural Identities

About Jennifer P. Ortega LCSW

The words we use matter, especially for those who are bilingual or multilingual. The stories we tell ourselves can keep us feeling stuck. When emotions feel like they define us, even small shifts in language can open the door to awareness, new choices, and healing.

I named my practice Somos Wellness Counseling because the word “Somos” means “we“. Using we reminds us that we are not our emotions, we can step back, breath, and see that we are doing our best. This gentle separation creates space for compassion, healing, and growth.
