Getting to know Silvia Valdez-Mistry

Hi, I'm Silvia Valdez-Mistry, LCSW. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to clients across the lifespan. My approach to therapy is rooted in a collaborative and client-centered framework. I believe that every individual possesses the strength and resilience needed to navigate their challenges. By creating a safe and supportive environment, I empower clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. I utilize evidence-based techniques, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, to help clients understand the interplay between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I prioritize understanding each person's unique experiences and background, tailoring interventions to meet their specific needs. I work with a diverse range of clients facing mental health, trauma, and life transition challenges. My primary areas include Perinatal Mental Health, Trauma and PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Life stressors, Relationship Issues, Generational Trauma, and Grief. My goal is to empower clients to explore their narratives and achieve holistic well-being. My communication style is warm, empathetic, and direct. I prioritize active listening and validation, creating a safe space for clients to express themselves. Using clear and straightforward language, I ensure concepts are easily understood, fostering collaboration in the therapeutic process. I adapt my approach to meet individual needs, encouraging meaningful dialogue that promotes self-discovery and growth. In our sessions, I collaborate with clients to identify clear, achievable goals tailored to their individual needs and aspirations. We work together to define goals that resonate with the client's unique experiences and values. Goals are revisited and adjusted as needed.
