Learning how to be gentle with yourself. To slow down, soften, and be present with uncertainty. To find grace after struggle, moving with the rhythms of your unique body, mind, and spirit. To explore the unconscious as a source of wisdom, blending intuition with insight. To reclaim your power within your intersecting identities—culturally rooted, fluid, non-normative. To move toward compassion, radical acceptance and a more creative, meaningful way of living. Finding freedom from patterns no longer serving you while building resiliency and ease. The power to deepen your connection to your innermost values and life's fulfillment.
I'm Dr Josie Valderrama. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, identity challenges, and relationship struggles, particularly at the intersection of gender, sexual & relational diversity (GSRD), cultural identity, and neurodivergence. Integrating mindfulness, CBT, somatics, parts work, attachment and experiential trance techniques for your health.
In our session, we’ll start with mindful grounding and then work through the issues that matter most to you, staying rooted in the present. We explore emotions, thoughts, relationships and past experiences, always with the goal of fostering insight and actionable change. Clients say our work helps them reconnect with themselves—empowered, aligned, at peace.
