Hello my name is Belinda Valdivia and I am a bilingual therapist licensed in California and have been working in different settings with diverse populations. Are you constantly worried about your problems and having difficulties controlling your anxious thoughts? Do you feel sad and low motivation to do the activities you once enjoyed? Have you experienced recent or past trauma that you have tried to avoid thinking about but keeps replaying in your mind? Is your child having issues managing his emotions and not sure how to help them? Having difficulties sharing how you feel with others? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can help guide and empower you to meet your therapeutic goals. I have been providing for the last ten years individual therapy to children, adolescents and adults as well as family therapy. As your therapist my goal is for you to have a safe space to share your thoughts and feelings and feel that someone is listening to you without judgment.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I strive for my clients to feel that they can share with me their problems and instill hope that there are tools and solutions that can help them feel better. I provide a safe and empathetic therapeutic environment where I welcome feedback from you the client and together we work on figuring out the best therapeutic approach.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is being genuine and empathetic in therapy in order for you to feel safe to share your what is on your mind. My clients often say they feel comfortable opening up to me. My strengths also include being able to help clients see things from a different perspective and I am understanding that each individuals progress looks different. Although I have experience working with individuals of all ages, I tend to specialize in children, adolescents and young adults. I have extensive experience with depression, low self-esteem, boundary issues, anxiety, trauma, grief and anger management. I truly enjoy being a therapist as I have the privilege of encouraging, guiding and celebrating with patients their growth.
