Alexandra Valentin, MS

My fascination and desire for understanding human behavior prompted me to study Psychology. I earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Interamerican University of Puerto Rico and graduated from Capella University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.  I am bilingual in English and Spanish; therefore I also work with the Spanish speaking community.

​

I help individuals get through challenging moments in their lives, as well as diagnose and treat mental illnesses in my clients. I assist my clients, who include children, adolescents, adults, and families, in developing healthy self-perceptions as calm, whole, and secure. I enjoy working with children and adults to help them discover their life's purpose and learn and understand how to lead the life they have always wanted. I use several strategies to help individuals overcome and manage ADHD, depression, anxiety, and trauma, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Play Therapy, mindfulness techniques, self-esteem building, inner child work, mood management, stress reduction, and work-life balance.
