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.

"A humble knowledge of oneself is a surer road to God than a deep searching of the sciences." Thomas a' Kempis I have been a practitioner since 1988. Over the last 22 years of practice, my approach to therapy has become very eclectic. I have come to understand that no one style can possibly meet the needs of everyone that comes to me for assistance. However, the one variable that is always necessary for a successful therapeutic experience is the positive and trusting bond that is formed between me and those I work wit.

"PROMISE ME YOU WILL NOT SPEND SO MUCH TIME TREADING WATER AND TRYING TO KEEP YOUR HEAD ABOVE THE WAVES THAT YOU FORGET, TRULY FORGET, HOW MUCH YOU HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO SWIM." -TKG Are you trying to address a long standing problem or has life presented a new challenge?

Accepting new clients- Are you struggling with unwanted emotions, behaviors, and beliefs, causing you to feel unhappy, unfulfilled, or anxious? Struggling to regulate your emotions after a traumatic event, a break-up, or problems in your current relationship? The truth is time does not heal all wounds. It’s human to want to avoid and just get rid of the pain. At the same time, the way to resolve the pain is to give it your attention and work through it. This is the hardest part and trying to do this alone will most likely leave you feeling defeated. Like many people struggling with emotional pain, you may not have the best support.

I am a licensed specialist with over twenty years of clinical experience in the counseling room witnessing many changed lives.

In working with clients, my theoretical approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Adlerian therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Positive Psychology, alongside Motivational Interview (M.I). I believe psychotherapy and treatment are not "one size fits all." Treatment is tailored to each client, considering their needs, psychosocial experience, and cultural background. My main focus during the initial phase of working with the client is to build a therapeutic alliance. I recognize the difficulties clients experience in trusting their personal experiences/thoughts/emotions, so I assist the client in making that process easier.

Intimate partner violence, Sexual Assault is a real problem. (7 out of 10) The shame and torture of the untold story. Crying when no one is looking. Wine, multiple partners, pills, hiding. Time isn’t being friendly. This ever looming weight in the distance. Unwanted outbursts. You can’t sit still unconsciously trying to fill this dark void. Swept under the rug by humiliation, hopeless and in despair, cold and without reprieve. Less than whole, desperate to know that there is an end that doesn’t end it all.

Trauma is something we all have in common. That statement will either completely resonate with you, or you’ll think it’s ridiculous with the belief, “well, I’ve never experienced trauma”. I would challenge the latter with your definition of trauma. There are what we call "big T" traumas, which are the catastrophic happenings in life. And "little t" traumas, which are the less significant but still impactful happenings; things like not getting the promotion you've been working towards, family tension, financial stressors, or even indirect exposure to something disturbing.

Therapy can be a difficult decision to make and it can get worse before it gets better. It is hard to examine with someone you don’t really know, private, deep and personal things about you, your relationships; your marriage and your family. You may be dealing with trauma that was completely out of your control, or trying to manage a choice you made that inflicted so much pain onto others and yourself, or trying to wrap your mind on who you are now, but want to be better, however you don't know how to get there. Whatever struggles you are facing in your life, I hope that you seek therapy, no one can do this alone.
