Kim Valdes

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with specialized training as a Certified Trauma Professional (Level II), Brainspotting Practitioner (Phase I & II), and Somatic and Internal Family Systems–Informed therapist. I work with children, teens, and adults, offering a holistic approach that supports healing across mind, body, and spirit.

My clinical focus includes PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and I have a particular passion for supporting children, women, mothers, and parents. I help clients strengthen self‐awareness, emotional skills, self‐regulation, and parenting confidence, while also addressing early childhood trauma and patterns that impact current well‐being.

I hold a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and began my career serving underserved and undocumented families, as well as children referred through the Department of Children and Families in Georgia. This foundation continues to shape my commitment to accessible, compassionate, and culturally attuned care.

With more than 20 years of personal meditation experience, I integrate mindfulness and meditation practices into my work and facilitate meditation groups as part of my therapeutic approach. My goal is to create a grounded, supportive space where clients can reconnect with their inner wisdom, build resilience, and move toward emotional and spiritual wellness.

I incorporate a holistic and creative approach that focus on mind-body and spiritual therapies such as, holotropic breathwork, meditation groups and meditation and art groups, sandtray therapy, as well as mindulness, somatic, and internal family systems.

I value being compassionate and respecting where people are in their journey and creating a safe space for all my clients. I value, appreciate, and respect the gift of neurodiversity as we are meant to honor and accept our differences. I also believe that we all have a "Healing Intelligence" within, moving us toward healing and growth.My role is not to "fix" the client or to tell them what's wrong. Instead, I act as a facilitator, helping the client connect with this powerful inner guide within themselves. I trust the client's process and their ability to access this deep knowing that will guide them towards their own well-being.

During our first session a client can expect openess, nonjudgmental and curious approach from therapist. The first session will also provide the opportunity to connect with therapist and the environent and see if it's a good fit. This is a good time to ask questions, talk about goals, and intentions for therapy. Therapist will be focusing on listening and learning all about you, what your needs are, and getting to know you.
