Are you in the process of becoming who you truly want to be? Do you want to know yourself better, and reach deep acceptance of your unique needs, feelings, and experiences? Do you want to be seen and understood by others in a way that makes you proud to be you? Would you like to learn creative and compassionate ways of communicating with yourself and others, including some of the more challenging people in your life? Are old messages and hurts getting in the way? Do you want the freedom that comes from telling your story, leaving behind what doesn't serve you, and deciding on the next chapter?

Everyone deserves the time and space to lay down their worries, their fears, their past, their pain—and especially their hopes for the future and the change they want to see in their lives. My job is to provide that time and space to my clients, listening attentively, non-judgmentally and empathetically. Once we’ve settled into that space, we can work together to identify your goals and work to achieve them. I am experienced in working with adults and teens with depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD and trauma, mood and thought disorders, substance use, grief, major life transitions and self-esteem. If you're ready, I'm here for you.

Welcome, I appreciate your interest in exploring the options of my practice. As a registered Art Therapist and Marriage and Family Therapist my approach tends to be interactive. I value a strength-based perspective with clients that focuses on identifying and building strengths as a means to achieve your goals, especially approaches to well being and happiness. I often use solution-focused and narrative approaches that include skill building through cognitive-behavioral techniques. I provide a variety of modalities to address clients' needs which includes art therapy groups for teens and adults as means of support and expression.

Hi, I’m Janice Valdez and I am a Licensed Marriage Family therapist. My career began providing services to individuals who suffer from addiction. For the last three years I have provided individual therapy to clients of all ages with an array of different issues including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, abuse, and more.

Are you feeling misunderstood, unheard, and unvalidated? Do you toss and turn at night, overwhelmed by many thoughts running through your mind? I can help! I enjoy supporting individuals, couples, and families of all ages and ethnicities. I firmly believe that we all possess unique strengths that we might tap into to support our healing and growth. We will focus our therapeutic relationship on supporting you to develop the desire you seek. I provide an unbiased, non-judgmental, and safe environment to explore your perceived challenges. I strive to empower your mental and holistic health to uncover the light that shines within you.

My practice focuses on helping people develop healthier relationships with themselves and others. I believe in building a safe, respectful and compassionate relationship with my clients where we can exchange direct, honest, and meaningful feedback. Within this trusting relationship, we can explore your challenges and strengths so that you have more healthy choices regarding your life goals. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, isolation, grief or relationship issues, or if you simply want to live more authentically and fully, there is hope. Key elements in the change process include curiosity and a desire to learn about yourself.

Do you seek to better understand yourself, ease suffering, grow to your full potential, both individually and in relationships, and be more present in your life? Then you're in the right place. Many of the things with which we struggle, such as anxiety and depression, are ultimately tied to difficulties in how we relate to ourselves, and perhaps even more so, to others. Because of this, I see our relationship in therapy as the most important factor in helping you achieve your goals. When we feel supported, understood, and compassionately challenged, growth occurs over time at the level of the brain, promoting long-term change.

Life can be difficult at times. Something I have learned over the years, through my own experiences, career paths, academics, and family/relationship struggles. We are all susceptible to the trials and tribulations of life. Whether caused by your actions, the actions of others, or some external forces. You may be experiencing a difficult period in your life. Wanting and needing support during this troubled time. I offer that support through an unbiased, open-minded, and non-judgemental partnership with you. I do mean partnership. We will be working together throughout the therapeutic process.

Over the last two decades my clientele has changed along with my experience, skill acquisition and personal life. First as a clinician, then business owner, family man and student of life and living, I have been fortunate to have a career that reflects my own life. Peek moments, so many blessings, long trials and struggles and big losses have rounded the edges of once sharp ideals and brought a humble gratitude for the souls I've met in my office. While I have a solid grasp of several powerful treatment modalities, my goal first is to be a good human to those who seek me out.

COVID-19 and quarantine has changed the world, the way we navigate challenges and brought forth our need for connection.I am passionate about helping clients learn new skills to deal with the changes that come in life and rediscover their ability to create solutions to fit their world.

Do you feel over sensitive or misunderstood, or that patterns keep repeating in your life? Therapy is a unique experience that gets under the patterns to see why and how they got you into a negative space-and then to help get unstuck. Working through your experience of loss can help make sense of the depression or anxiety that are taking too much or your time and energy. That unlocks the natural development of healthy self esteem. Therapy helps you reclaim yourself from the 'unfinished business' of life stresses.

As a fat, queer, neurodivergent disruptor of societal norms and systems, I hold a strength-based attachment focused framework that values and celebrates all genders, sexualities, bodies, ethnicities, cultures, abilities, family structures, religions, and socio-economic locations. I see these intersectionalities as a beautiful tapestry of personal empowerments which can become the foundation from which we work collectively to identify, address and dismantle systems of oppression. I believe humans shouldn’t be pathologized in a society designed to keep people sick and stuck.

Navigating life's twists and turns can be quite the journey. The key is that you don't have to go through it alone. I specialize in working with women to overcome overthinking, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and all the things that accompany self-doubt. These things can cause anxiety, shame, and depression and keep us stuck. Sometimes, women overschedule and overwork to prove that they’re good enough. Occasionally, it takes the form of being unable to say no, leading to resentment and frustration, affecting all your relationships. All of this can and does affect your health as well.

I work with youth, teens, young professionals, parents/single-parents and couples supporting issues with anxiety, fear, shame, life transitions, grief, daily stressors, relationship challenges of many varieties, and formation/re-formation of self.

I welcome the opportunity to work with young adults to older adults to help to develop a preferred self. I know that developing an identity as a young adult can be challenging. Professionals may find it exhausting to have a work-life balance, or may be seeking meaning in their lives. I appreciate and value the intersections of our identities and how we navigate our lives. I work in a relational way holding clients in positive regard, attuning to you, and helping to identify internal and external resources to apply.
