Kendra ValdezClinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

About

Therapy is a delicate art and a science. Finding the right therapist is important. The connection by an understanding, intuitive professional, someone with wisdom and effectiveness, who also respects the time and the cost of your investment is valuable. I use an attachment-focused orientation, and tools from EMDR, Ego State Theory, CBT, 12-step recovery model, and other modalities. I have enjoyed a rich 25-year career as a trauma informed specialist. I have supervised and directed programs in public and non-profit sectors. Adoption is my specialty, as well as work with teens, young adults and families. I use several evidenced based practices, such as EMDR, TF-CBT, PCIT, the Nurtured Heart Approach, Gottman methods, etc. I treat trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, recovery from abuse/addiction, relationships, phase of life and gender/sexuality hardships. I have worked with families, couples, adolescents and young adults in various treatment settings.
