Getting to know Amanda Valladares

Hello, my name is Amanda Valladares. I am an LCSW and have been in the field of social work therapies for eight years. I completed my undergraduate studies at Cal State Northridge and earned my Master's in Social Work from Columbia University. My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. I have worked with a broad range of cultures, ages, and genders. The focus of my practice is to increase clients' motivation, self-esteem, skills, and confidence so they can independently manage their therapeutic concerns. My approach I base my therapy style on meeting clients where they are. My methods include CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, guided meditation, solution-focused, trauma-focused, strength-based, psychodynamic, and others, depending on what best supports the client's goals. My focus I enjoy working with a diverse array of clients across age, culture, ethnicity, religion, and gender. I have supported clients from adolescence through seniors, addressing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, communication, goal-setting, self-esteem, family and work stress, adjustments after incarceration, and substance use. My communication style I strive to create a relaxing and open environment for clients. I prioritize providing a judgment-free space, mindful of the courage and vulnerability involved in therapy. I encourage transparent communication to foster feedback about our therapeutic rapport and interventions. My journey to therapy Since I was young, I was often the friend others turned to for a listening ear. I knew then that I wanted to be a therapist and help others. My deep concern for humanity's well-being begins with the individual, and I have devoted my life to providing the utmost care and healing to those in distress.
