Dr. Cidna Valentin

I’m committed to providing culturally-relevant and integrative care for everyone. My approach is collaborative, rooted in social justice, and adapted to your needs and goals. I work primarily with adults, although I have experience with clients across the lifespan. I’m passionate about creating healing spaces for underserved communities and supporting first-generation Americans as they navigate multiple cultural worlds. I provide online therapy in English and Haitian Kreyòl (non-native speaker).

I use a wide range of tools to help BIPOC-identifying clients, particularly women of color, navigate complex intergenerational problems in their families and other relationships. My treatment specialties include:

Depression; Expatriation, migration, and acculturation problems; Global mental health and international psychology; Haitian mental health; Maternal mental health; Racial stress and trauma

I help my clients find the language to understand painful experiences and lift emotional and cognitive barriers that have been in the way of their healing. Whether in a brief treatment or a longer-term relationship, clients emerge from their work with me with greater self-compassion, awareness, and hope for life.
