About Vanessa Valdez, LPC-Associate

Owner of Van Counseling PLLC. VAN = Validating, Accepting, Non-judgmental Counseling.

As a Latina, I know there is often a negative stigma within our community against seeking therapy. Let’s work on ending that stigma together!

I know opening up to a stranger can be scary, but so is dealing with something difficult on your own (or in silence). Some people get discouraged from seeking therapy because they think their problems are “too small” or “unimportant.” Others may be skeptical about whether or not therapy will work for them.

Whatever you are dealing with, know that you do not have to go through it alone. I am more than happy to offer my support. I want you to know that no problem is too small or unimportant. If something is bothering you or interrupting your daily functioning, it’s happening for a reason. Your feelings are valid and deserve to be heard!

Whether you’ve just gone through a breakup, are dealing with overthinking or recurring negative thoughts, can’t seem to find the motivation to complete everyday tasks, are a recovering people pleaser, struggling to set boundaries, or need help working through trauma.. this place is for you! We will work together to collaboratively create a treatment plan that is unique to your situation. As someone who has had to overcome my own obstacles (especially anxiety), I can assure you that putting in the effort is worth the results. Although it may not always be easy, I promise to be there for you every step of the way.

I value the client-therapist relationship and will allow you to open up at your own pace whenever you feel ready. I believe that every individual has the ability and power to make changes and better their wellbeing. Sometimes we just need a helping hand, and that is exactly what I am here for. My goal is for each client to leave each session feeling empowered and supported.
