Meet the Corazón Team
Vision & Mission
Our offerings come from a place of love and liberation knowing that healing only takes place when we address the whole person and their environment. We understand how current social systems negatively impact the wellbeing of our communities, especially mothers. We are committed to offering our services not only from a culturally centered and trauma informed place but from a liberatory and decolonial framework that serve as the basis for all of our offerings at Corazon Counseling.
Our expertise and focus includes working with Pregnant and Postpartum Families, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, Spanish speaking Immigrant Families, Birth Workers, and Mental Health Therapists and Clinicians.
EMILIA ORTEGA-JARA, LCSW, PMH-C
Founder & Clinical Director
My holistic approach to healing addresses the whole person mind, body, heart, and spirit. I offer a safe space to grieve, feel, and heal. My therapeutic approach incorporates various traditional Indigenous wisdom, and eastern wellness teachings along with evidence based psychotherapy techniques such as CBT and EMDR.
In addition, I bring a liberatory and decolonial framework into my healing practice. An understanding of oppressive systems and their contribution to the current and historical trauma many communities have endured due to the social, cultural, and political inequalities that to this day continue to negatively affect the mental and emotional wellness of our families.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field.
I also provide 1:1 coaching services, online group coaching, and retreats for mental health practitioners through my Yollotl Coaching services.
