Gia Valdez

My communication style

The environment I create is a judgment-free, safe space where we can both be open, direct, and honest to assist you in achieving your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always had the goal of becoming a therapist ever since I left my home of origin at 13 years old, following many years of abuse. I have had extensive therapy myself throughout my teen years and adulthood, and have had the opportunity to analyze what has and has not worked for me from other providers.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by assisting you in creating goals to better enhance your desired treatment outcomes and provide realistic expectations.

Our first session

During a first session, I will assess what your desired outcome is, as well as any experiences you may have had with past therapy that worked or did not work for you, and obtain a brief biopsychosocial assessment.
