Dr. Ortiz’s brand-new chapter, with the great Lenore Skenazy, in the new book, Mind the Children. Thirteen amazing chapters on why kids are struggling and what to do about it.
Camilo Ortiz, Ph.D., ABPP, is an associate professor in the clinical psychology doctoral program at Long Island University-Post. He is also a fellow with the Flourishing in Action project at the Archbridge Institute’s Human Flourishing Lab. His scholarship focuses on child anxiety and disruptive behavior, parenting, and cognitive behavior therapy for children and adults. He is the developer of Independence Therapy, a revolutionary new approach to treating child anxiety through “mega-doses” of child independence.
Dr. Ortiz received a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a B.S. in Human Development from Cornell University. He completed a pre-doctoral internship at Montefiore Medical Center and a postdoctoral research fellowship at Stony Brook University before joining the faculty at LIU-Post in 2001. He teaches classes focusing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and evidence-based treatment of children and adolescents. Dr. Ortiz is board-certified in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and is a licensed psychologist in the state of New York, as well as a telehealth provider in Florida.
Dr Ortiz frequently appears in national media to discuss child anxiety and what we can do to turn the tide against it.
