Maritza Valdez

Hi there, I'm Maritza!

I am a bilingual therapist working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief and loss, medical illnesses, caregiving challenges, and substance use. I focus on evidence-based practices to help you build understanding and move forward with strength.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I have extensive experience providing therapy to medically ill individuals and their families, including palliative care and grief work. I also help clients navigate substance use, coping strategies, and triggers.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help us build a strong sense of understanding and focus on your strengths. I also incorporate mindfulness and strength-based approaches to help you overcome and cope with stressors.
