Catherine Valencia

You may be carrying the effects of painful experiences from the past while trying to manage the demands of life today. Trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions can leave you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of yourself. You do not have to work these experiences alone. I specialize in helping individuals who are struggling with trauma-related symptoms, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions. I provide a supportive space where you can better understand what you are experiencing, develop healthier ways of coping, and begin working toward meaningful and lasting change. Your past experiences may have affected you and have shaped you, but they do not have to define you. Healing is loosening the past's hold on your present, reconnecting with your sense of self-worth, and creating healthier patterns for your future. You deserve a space where you feel heard, supported, and understood as you become the person you want to be.

My approach is person-centered, compassionate, collaborative, strength-based, and trauma-informed. Depending on your needs and treatment goals, I incorporate evidence-based therapeutic methods such as CBT, ACT, and EMDR and other therapeutic modalities and interventions. You will not be expected to move faster than you are ready to move. We will work collaboratively to support your progress. Therapy is individualized to your needs, experiences, strengths and goals.

I have years of experience working with individuals experiencing trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. During our initial sessions, we will explore your concerns, changes you want to see, and identify the patterns contributing to your distress and collaborate on treatment goals. Therapy is tailored to meet your needs. The benefit of therapy is becoming who you are.
