Who Is Mountain Rise Counseling

Silvia Portillo
LPC, CSOTP
My journey to become a licensed therapist came from my experience as a case manager before completing my master's degree in counseling. I have worked with the underprivileged community, and it is my continuing mission to work with clients who are in need of support. I have years of experience working as a mental health professional, and 10+ years of working with the community of all cultural backgrounds.
Mental health can be a stigmatized topic, and it is my purpose in session to help the client feel accepted and empowered.
