Getting to know Daniel Valdes

Bilingual licensed mental health professional with 6+ years of experience providing assessment, crisis intervention, and brief, evidence-based psychotherapy to teens and their families. I'm committed to culturally responsive, equity-oriented, and client-centered care in a warm and non-judgmental setting. My approach As a client-centered therapist, I use cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapy to help you identify unhealthy thought patterns and construct helpful solutions based on your needs. I am passionate about helping you identify your strengths and developing healthy habits in culturally appropriate ways. My focus If you have experienced anxiety or self-doubt, or even struggles in your relationships (romantic, family, friends, coworkers), I am passionate about helping teens, adults, couples, and families overcome the things that might hold you back from moving forward and making progress. My communication style I see therapy as a partnership. We’ll focus on what matters most to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building confidence, or working toward personal goals. As your insights grow, we can adjust our approach so it stays meaningful and helps you move forward, even when things feel tough. My journey to mental healthcare Personally, I struggled as a teen and young adult with things like self-esteem, healthy boundaries, and relationships. It was through my own work in therapy, both individual and couples work, that I was able to learn more about myself, my strengths, and how to communicate with those around me. I also learned to set and pursue my own goals. My goals for you I support you in reaching your goals by breaking them down and examining the smaller objectives. Like climbing a mountain or taking a long road trip, goals can seem overwhelming if we look at the whole. When broken down to smaller objectives, our goals become manageable and attainable.
