Janice Valdez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Janice!

Welcome! I'm here to listen—when you're ready to share your story. You have the power to create the changes you desire, and I'm honored to walk alongside you in that journey. I look forward to meeting you.

My focus

I work with individuals navigating a variety of challenges, including addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and more. My focus is on helping you gain insight, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

My approach

I take a person-centered approach, blending elements of narrative therapy, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your experiences. We all have a story—and the good news is, you're still writing yours.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard and validated. My style is empathetic yet direct—I'll ask thoughtful questions and offer gentle guidance as we explore the path forward, always honoring your values and goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career working with individuals affected by addiction. Over time, I expanded my experience to include work with children and now primarily support adults with mild to moderate mental health diagnoses.

My goals for you

My goal is for you to feel safe, valued, and truly heard. I aim to equip you with the insight and tools needed for growth, healing, and transformation.

Our first session

Your first session is all about you. We'll explore your needs, hopes, and expectations, and begin to build a collaborative plan that supports your journey. My aim is for you to feel comfortable, seen, and supported from the very beginning.
