Getting to know Armida Valencia
Hello, my name is Armida Valencia, and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, working statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I work with children, individuals, couples, and families, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and mood disorders. I use a variety of treatment modalities such as CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Care, and Reality Therapy to help clients achieve their mental health goals and feel better.
My approach
My therapeutic style varies depending on the client’s treatment goals and what works best for them. I use the modality that best suits each client’s needs. I also incorporate a cultural approach when needed, providing cultural validation for clients who require it.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for clients seeking a more direct approach to address life challenges that interfere with daily functioning.
My communication style
My communication style is assertive and direct, yet compassionate and warm. I believe in making clients feel safe and understood while holding them accountable for reaching their treatment goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
Helping people, planting healthy seeds for future generations, and supporting individuals in improving their lives are what drive me in this work. I aim to help clients feel validated, heard, and safe while guiding them toward healthier lifestyles.
My goals for you
I work collaboratively with clients to identify priority goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to their needs.
My first session with you
During our first session, we will spend most of the time reviewing your psychosocial history, current symptoms and stressors, and how you are presently feeling. We will discuss what to expect from treatment, review your expectations of therapy, and answer any questions to make your experience as comfortable and positive as possible.
