The Sandwich Generation, I understand the unique pressures you're juggling. Whether it’s caring for aging parents, raising children, or balancing a career that often feels overwhelming, life can feel heavy. That’s where I come in. I’m Patricia Valencia, a therapist who believes deeply in the power of resilience, kindness, and humor to help you heal and grow. Therapy with me is not cookie-cutter. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I meet you where you are—whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or healing from intergenerational trauma. We’ll work together to explore how past experiences, especially those passed down through generations, impact you today. I’ve seen time and again how resilience can be a guiding force in overcoming these struggles. My approach is built around your unique needs. I take the time to listen and understand your thoughts and feelings because I believe each person’s path to healing is different. Together, we’ll find ways to build joy, reduce anxiety, and make room for lasting change. If you’re looking for a therapist who can walk with you through life’s challenges—whether they’re stress from caregiving, personal ambition, or navigating complex family relationships—I’m here for you. Let’s work together to cultivate the resilience you already possess and embrace the life you deserve.
