Welcome! My name is Valentina Torrence. I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to guiding clients through life's challenges. Whether it's navigating relationships, life transitions, trauma, or grief, I offer empathetic support and a safe space for growth. I'm truly passionate about helping individuals achieve positive change and healing.
My approach
My approach centers on mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. I also draw from solution-focused therapy, psychodynamic, and narrative therapy techniques to create a tailored treatment plan that suits your unique needs. Ultimately, my aim is to empower clients with effective coping strategies to achieve their therapeutic goals.
My focus
I specialize in working with adolescents and adults, including members of the LGBTQ+ community. I focus on addressing a range of issues such as trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, life stressors, grief, anxiety, and depression.
My communication style
I'm warm, empathetic, and direct when necessary, but non-judgmental. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you will feel heard, understood, and valued. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and collaboration. It's important that you feel empowered to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences at your own pace. Working with me feels like having a compassionate and understanding partner on your journey towards healing and personal growth.
My goals for you
Together, we will ensure that your aspirations and priorities guide the process. We explore what you hope to achieve and break down those goals into smaller, manageable steps. Throughout our work together, I will provide support and encouragement as you progress toward your goals, adjusting strategies as needed to ensure your continued growth.
My first session with you
First sessions can be scary! Whether this is your twentieth time meeting with a therapist or your very first, I will create a safe, compassionate, and warm environment for you to share whatever it is that you feel comfortable sharing about your life and struggles. We will then collaboratively establish a plan to reach those goals.
