I'm Oscar Valdez, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I work with individuals on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, life transitions, substance use, and spirituality. I use trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), gestalt work, Motivational interviewing, and Client-centered work and I use the internal family systems model. I am a Unites States Marine Corps veteran and aim to follow a motto that I was taught leave it better than you found it. I aim to partner alongside my clients as a means to attain this goal.
I'm a careful observer and good listener, and I'll present you opportunities to reflect and resolve internal conflicts. I have learned to have a calm and collected demeanor not only in sessions but also in life. I listen to my clients and aim to see your side of the conversation and will give psycho-education to support your thoughts and observations.
In my first session, I take a biological, psychological, social, and spiritual history if you disclose one and allow the space for you to label the current struggles, how it has impacted you, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
