Alejandra Guzman-Valencia

My communication style

I provide a supportive and welcoming atmosphere by listening to and validating your life experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked across diverse settings including hospitals, schools, and outpatient clinics, supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, and life transitions. These experiences have deepened my commitment to meeting each person where they are and helping them move toward their goals.

My goals for you

Together, we will come up with treatment goals, and we will work towards that at your speed. As sessions progress, I will recommend a series of skills that should be practiced in between sessions. I will be here to support and encourage you every step of the way while also respecting your right to self-determination.

Our first session

The first couple of sessions involve rapport building in which you and I get to know each other and determine if the therapeutic alliance is a good fit. I will review expectations and guidelines and allow you an opportunity to tell me about your reasons for seeking therapy.

I identify as...
