Getting to know Sandra Galvan-Valdovinos

As a first-generation Latina, daughter of immigrant parents, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and proud mom of two girls, I founded Raíces y Almas Unidas Counseling to create a safe, inclusive space where individuals, couples, and families can heal through culture, connection, and compassion. With over 8 years of experience, I support clients navigating life transitions, generational wounds, anxiety, and relationship challenges. I offer bilingual services in English and Spanish, grounded in culturally responsive care. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy running as a way to recharge and stay grounded. My mission is to help you reconnect with your inner strength and build a life rooted in authenticity and purpose.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Raíces y Almas Unidas Counseling PLLC is dedicated to providing compassionate, culturally responsive mental health services in English and Spanish. We honor roots, identity, and lived experiences while empowering individuals, couples, and families to heal, strengthen relationships, and grow with resilience, balance, and hope. Together in healing!!!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes long and are offered via secure telehealth. Each session begins with a brief check-in to explore how you’ve been feeling, followed by a conversation focused on your goals, relationships, emotions, and life experiences. Therapy may include building insight, strengthening communication, learning coping skills, and exploring the impact of culture, family, and generational patterns. Sessions are tailored to your needs and may include practical tools you can use outside of therapy. This is a space where you are encouraged to show up as your full self—language, culture, and lived experiences included.
