Hello, I’m Dr. Letha Valiaveedu, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with more than 20 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults through a variety of life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and cultural and identity-related concerns.
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and strengths-based. I believe in meeting clients where they are at and creating a safe, warm, and supportive environment where they can feel comfortable being open and authentic. Together, we work to better understand challenges, build on existing strengths, develop resilience, and create meaningful change.
I draw from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Humanistic approaches. I also use a trauma-informed lens in my work and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
For clients who desire it, I can also integrate Christian faith and values into the therapeutic process. I believe therapy should honor each client’s unique experiences, values, culture, and goals, and I strive to provide care that is both individualized and respectful.
Whether you are navigating a difficult season, working through past experiences, or seeking greater confidence and clarity in your life, I would be honored to support you along the way.
