Getting to know Valynn Hawkins

Hi there, I'm Valynn! I?m Valynn Hawkins, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with a Master?s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University. I help individuals overcome self-defeating thought patterns and take an active role in creating the life they want. My mission is to empower those who feel out of control and overly disappointed with their lives to gain clarity about what actions are within their power. I guide clients to take purposeful action, leading to greater emotional well-being and a stronger sense of control over their choices. My approach I take each client through a framework called ACTION. Activate: helping clients identify and understand what blocks them from taking action and having honest relationships. Compromise: guiding clients to practice self-reflection, conflict resolution, effective communication, and compassion skills to welcome alternative ways of moving toward the life they deserve. Test: encouraging clients to try new skills. Observe Outcomes: supporting clients as they notice the results of their actions. Nourish the new relationship: helping clients rebuild trust in their decision-making abilities. My focus I work primarily with teens and professional women who feel stuck in their thoughts and actions, helping them take an active role in shaping their lives. I have supported clients managing stress, building courage in decision-making, and taking steps toward a more energized and aligned life. My communication style I bring a warm, caring, and non-judgmental approach. I offer helpful reminders, compassion practices, and opportunities for clients to clear the fog in their minds, helping them see what actions are possible to create meaningful change. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began long before I was aware of it, during my adolescence. Growing up as one of the oldest siblings in South Los Angeles, many responsibilities fell on me early, calling for responsible decision-making from a young age.
