Victoria Valdez

Child & Family Therapy

Hi,

I'm Victoria a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT#1944) and an AAMFT Supervisor Candidate in Brentwood, TN. I specialize in working with kids, teens, parents, and women. 

I work with families, children, adolescents, and women from all walks of life. One's life journey can be beautiful, stressful, joyous, and heartbreaking. My desire is to walk alongside each person on their unique journey, and my goal is to provide a healing space for each person who walks into my office. I aim to work together with clients to help them find the best possible solution to life's challenges, to facilitate change and transformation, and to foster healing. Although I am trained to work with all individuals, my natural niche stems from my experience and specialized training in working with children, adolescents, and parents.

I know parenting can be one of life’s most amazing and rewarding ventures, but it can also be challenging. Since children do not come with their personalized how-to manuals, figuring out how to raise your children throughout their many stages of development can be very difficult. This is where I can help. l bring 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families in foster care, residential treatment centers, in-home settings, school settings, and private practice. 

I also help women walk through healing from trauma, anxiety, and grief. You can read more about how I provide therapy to women here.  As a woman of color who has experienced racial trauma, I also offer a safe, healing place to work through racial trauma for the BIPOC population.

I enjoy spending time with my husband and three kids in my free time: camping, hiking, swimming, and traveling. I look forward to working with you.
