Valencia is board certified to evaluate and treat mental health disorders in patients across the lifespan. She has a special interest in depression, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. She utilizes her knowledge, clinical skills, and evidence-based practice to establish an effective, patient-centered treatment plan. Valencia is caring and has compassion for others and is determined to provide adequate, quality care for patients.
When providing care, my approach is to prioritize patient-centered care, by actively listening and understanding their values and preferences. Allowing patients to be involved in their decision-making process while also establishing a trusting patient-provider relationship.
Clients can expect to take away from their sessions with a better understanding of how to address their mental health concerns and improve their quality of life through different coping mechanisms and positive thought processes.
