Therapists in Fresno, CA

I'm Mickie Valentine, and I extend a warm welcome to those seeking support and understanding in the complexities of life. Sometimes, what we need most is someone to just be there with us, in the thick of it, without judgements. I'll be there to listen and guide you through the tough times with compassion, empathy, and expertise. I have learned to appreciate the profound impact of genuine acknowledgment and active listening as the cornerstones of healing. In our work together, we'll keep it real. We'll talk about the tough stuff, laugh when we need to, and maybe shed some tears.

Are you ready to begin therapy? There comes a pivotal point in our lives we begin to start questioning our decisions and thoughts, the interactions we have in our intimate/platonic relationships, and/or why we feel "stuck". It often leads us to have difficulty regulating our daily thoughts, feelings, and emotions. The experience of hardships and emotional pain follow us like our own shadow contributing to the way we think, feel, and behave. I firmly believe early childhood experiences, complex and secondary trauma, daily stressors/challenges, and life adjustments shape who we are as individuals and how we relate to others.

Are you a motivated, insightful, woman who wants to better understand how their lived experience with trauma impacts their sense of self and quality of life? Or a woman who wishes to better understand their personal story, generational traumas you hold, and how the complexity of cultural factors impact your sense of self? Additionally, a woman that desires to learn about their strengths, improve their coping skills, expand their tolerance levels, and improve their sense of self. If this resonates with you and are ready to make changes for the better, I am happy to guide you towards your individualized path towards healing.

Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.

Throughout my service in various clinical settings, I have been struck by the importance of creating a safe space for those seeking mental health care and working towards personal growth. While I treat a wide range of mental health concerns, I specialize in working with those who: are navigating life transitions, including relationship and dating challenges, grief and loss, medical difficulties, or relocation; are striving to find effective ways of managing difficult emotions and communicating with others; have faced interpersonal traumas or identity-based invalidations; or are struggling to engage in meaningful ways with others.

Accepting new Telehealth clients! Choosing a therapist is tough and the therapy process looks different for everyone. It is important to have a connected and collaborative therapist to work with you through your journey. Whether you are feeling irritable, struggling with new transitions or having your past control your outlook on life, you deserve better for yourself. You deserve to feel more confident in your own life decisions, be able to connect to others & be proud of who you are. I seek to support you in becoming more aware of negative thoughts and feelings so you can develop a more accurate & positive self-perception.
