About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Arizona with more than eight years of experience working as a counselor/therapist. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, mood disorders like depression and anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, career challenges, ADHD, grief and loss. I have also worked with many people who have experienced substance and other forms of abuse, physical and emotional. Through my work, I have been able to provide services to not only adults but also our youth and older adult population. My therapy style is respectful, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, compassion and empathy. My approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focus and mindfulness therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It take courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take the first step I want to be there in your corner, supporting you step by step in your journey to a better life.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Valtierra. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
