Belinda Valdivia , LCSW
About me
Hello my name is Belinda Valdivia and I am a Bilingual (Spanish and English) licensed mental health clinician working in the medical and mental health field. I received a graduate degree in Social Work from University of Southern California which gave me the opportunity to be able to help others manage different mental health issues.
I have experience working with individuals of all ages in different types of settings. Some of my specialties include treating depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, trauma, family conflicts, phase of life problems, and relationship issues.
My counseling style is warm, patient, supportive and non-judgmental as I believe that one of the most important factors in therapy is feeling comfortable with the therapist you are working with. Some of the therapeutic approaches I have used in my practice include cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, mindfulness based cognitive therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy and strengths based therapy. However, I blend elements from different therapeutic approaches and tailor the treatment according to your needs. I am here to help you by working together towards an improved quality of life. I look forward to working with you!
