Getting to know Valda Trinh

Hi there, I'm Valda! Navigating life when feeling unseen and misunderstood is difficult and taxing. I am passionate about creating a warm space for clients to process depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma within a validating framework that appreciates neurodiversity. My focus I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress related to invalidation from past trauma, neurotypical structures, and societal/cultural pressures. Based on your current needs and capacity, we will introspectively process difficulties and build up effective coping to support emotional resilience. My approach I like to integrate dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as acceptance and commitment (ACT) concepts and skills in sessions. Utilizing strengths-based collaborative goal setting, I want to promote holistic healing that honors your growth in the therapy room and beyond. My communication style I like to meet my clients where they are at, promoting empathy and being transparent in a trauma-informed way. With patience and open-mindedness, I will support progress towards your goals through validation of your experiences, reflection of your emotional processing, and encouragement to face challenges for your growth. My journey to mental healthcare Coming from a culture and community that stigmatized mental health, I realized how important it is to have empathetic conversations to prevent isolation and cultivate effective support. I am passionate about helping others feel seen and heard, and I believe in building a foundation of self-understanding and appreciation to promote long-term growth. My goals for you We will collaborate throughout our sessions to set specific, achievable goals that fit your current needs and capacity. We will also work together to highlight any progress towards your goals and/or markers of your personal growth to cultivate a sense of control as you navigate dynamic challenges.
