Getting to know Cecelia Valdivia

Hi there, I'm Cecelia! Hello, my name is Cecelia Valdivia. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, CA. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix. I work with a variety of age groups and specialize in depression, anxiety, work stress, generational trauma, and play. My approach My approach to therapy is based on each client's needs. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These modalities help me and my clients build a shared understanding of their needs and allow us to work together to meet their goals. My focus My style and approach are a good fit for children, adolescents, and adults. I work with clients dealing with life transitions, work stress, and trauma expressed through anxiety and/or depression. I help clients build on the skills they already have and develop new ones. I also work with individuals who are first-generation immigrants, helping them navigate generational trauma and cultural expectations. My communication style My communication style is calm, welcoming, and personable. I create an inviting, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment that allows my clients to talk about anything they wish. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a passion for helping others and my community. I spent many years as a counselor, volunteered with various organizations, and enjoyed working with different age ranges and cultural backgrounds. I have naturally been drawn to talking and building connections with others. My goals for you My approach to goal setting involves working with clients to define what they want to achieve in therapy. It often starts with building a trusting relationship and feeling comfortable. Together, we will create goals and steps to accomplish them.
