Great to meet you!

I am a therapist with a strength-based approach focusing on women, couples, narcissistic abuse, insight oriented and relational therapy. I began my adult life as a photographer which trained me to be an observer which lead me to becoming a therapist, a deeper form of understanding. Learning to see and understand others by observing and engaging, I grew as a relational therapist driven to help people understand their lives and reach their goals, a rare enough skill to call it art for many of the therapists I know. My website is www.migdaliavaldeslcsw.com if you wish to know more.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is creating a space centered around your experiences and desires. We focus on your thoughts and feelings to support, deconstruct, understand, and work on shifting patterns. Looking at patterns, combined with your goals, we work to achieve change, growth and understanding from a strengths based perspective.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we talk about what brought you to therapy and what you want to achieve. It takes a moment to get to know each other and I will do what I can to help you feel comfortable, know you are heard and begin outlining your goals.
