I am a strong believer in meeting individuals where they are at that is, validating and supporting their current stage of change while encouraging them to actively visualize the best version of themselves. Together we will come up with treatment goals and we will work towards that at your speed. The first couple of sessions involve rapport building in which you and I get to know each other and determine if the therapeutic alliance is a good fit. As sessions progress, I will be here to support and encourage you every step of the way while also respecting your right to self determination.
I am Alejandra Guzman-Valencia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in a variety of settings and with different populations such as hospitals, schools, outpatient health clinics and with individuals struggling with end of life issues, chronic diseases, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, personality disorders and grief amongst others.

She is a wonderful therapist. This is my first time using BetterHelp and receiving therapy and she listened to me well. I learned many things from her and even though she and I both knew I was doing very well in my life, there were still some areas I can improve. I update her every week and get to learn more stuff. It feels really good to have a therapist and someone who can relate to me.
