Ivis Carrera Valdes
I am a bicultural and bilingual therapist who provides psychotherapy services in English and Spanish.
My therapeutic approach is culturally responsible, client-directed, and rooted in social justice values. I prioritize your needs by forming a warm, solid, and strong therapeutic relationship.
Therapy is a complex process different for each individual. Working with me is where I support you to make sense of your struggles and challenges. In doing so, we explore your whole self such as social identity and cultural history. I believe that there is not one specific therapy that is effective for everyone.
I have worked with with college students at University Counseling Centers for over three years. I have special interest and passion in provide mental health services to college students.
My commitment to you is to explore together and discover your true self. I am passionate about walking alongside you on your therapeutic journey to enhance your sense of self and connect with your values.
