Therapists in Fresno, CA

I have a strong sense of compassion and empathy for adults and teens struggling with depression, anxiety, difficulty controlling their emotions, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide. We all need a safe place where we can talk about our feelings, free of judgement, with someone we trust. While loved ones and parents may provide this also, therapists can offer a unique perspective which can assist people with developing the skills, strengths, and self-esteem to continue their lives with confidence. The world can be a frightening place, but each person has potential to thrive under the right conditions.

Life can get complicated and there is no handbook on how to handle things like depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship problems. It is important to know two things: 1. you are not alone, 2. challenges are always opportunities to grow and change your life. You are probably here because it's time to "do something different." Let me help guide you through this journey!

Hello, my name is Maritza Valdez and I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with clients throughout California. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, medical illnesses, caregiving challenges, and substance use/addiction. I focus on using evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

My ideal client is anyone willing to invest the time and effort it takes to improve upon themselves and to live life to their fullest potential. I enjoy focusing my skills on assisting youth with behavioral issues, helping guide parents, and facilitating healthy relationships. It is my belief that often times our own past experiences impact how we see ourselves and the world around us. I feel very strongly that by entering into a therapeutic relationship with a skilled therapist, we can uncover some of those past experiences and identify how they have contributed to our current life circumstances.

I am trained in several evidence based treatments including; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Seeking Safety, Trauma Focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Incredible Years (IY) and Secret Agent Society (SAS).

My name is Carol Fox, LMFT and I have been in practice for many years, witnessing the changes in the need and acceptance of therapy as a tool to becoming a better person. Finding self has many paths, so many therapies have been created, but the focus is always the same: finding the self in the lives we live each and every day. My approach to therapy is to find the right path back to the self. Life presents many challenges, whether they be trauma or change of circumstances. These challenges are on a spectrum in everyone's life. People who are willing to work on themselves are most receptive to therapy, or the art of exploring.

I believe therapy is a journey, one in which the client is the navigating driver. As a therapist, I take the passenger seat and support my clients in the direction they chose to go with in their therapeutic journey. I tailor each therapy session to the unique needs of my clients while utilizing empathy, respect, and transparency in a safe and nonjudgemental environment.

This may be effecting your relationships, career, and personal life. Imagine feeling like you are in control of your thoughts and emotions. Imagine being able to handle life's challenges with confidence.

Life these days can be quite stressful, whether it be life stressors, the COVID-19 pandemic, unemployment, relational issues amongst friends, family, and loved ones or a myriad of other possibilities. Finding a compassionate and caring clinician is crucial. Everyone who seeks therapy services deserves respect and competency. Life can be tough sometimes, finding a good therapist doesn't need to be.
