Breaking the Cycle with Dr. Sasha Ortiz: Rethinking Mental Health, Neurodivergence, & Family Patterns

Sometimes we expect people in certain professions to fit a specific mold… and sometimes, someone comes along and completely shatters it.

On this episode of Let’s Talk Local, Sarah is joined by Dr. Sasha Ortiz, a leading clinical psychologist in DFW whose work spans early autism detection, supporting veterans and first responders, and exploring modern, alternative treatments for depression, PTSD, and other mental health challenges.

Dr. Ortiz also shares thoughtful insight on kids and teens navigating social media, a conversation many parents and caregivers are having daily.

And yes… she also just handed over her crown as Ms. World International.

Sasha is truly one of a kind. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of mental health and healing, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
