Valerie Vecente, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Valerie!

I have experience working with individuals and their families with a wide array of diagnoses—anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and more. I believe that you are the expert in your life, and together, we can work through anything!

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals of all ages. I have experience working with clients as young as 5 years old, as well as adults going through life transitions. I am comfortable working with clients that present as severe to mild to moderate, with a variety of disorders.

My approach

I take an eclectic approach to treatment. Each service I provide is individualized to help my client. I use a variety of approaches, which may include person-centered, family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and patient. I am here to help you navigate your life and allow you to lead the process.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always enjoyed helping others. I love seeing my client's progress and how putting in the work pays off.

My goals for you

Together, we can establish goals that you want to work on. We will establish goals at our first session and continuously check in on those goals throughout treatment. I believe you are the expert in your life and know what you want to obtain.

Our first session

At our first session, I will ask various questions geared toward your history and future, including what you want to get out of treatment. We will discuss your strengths and how we can use those strengths to help you.
