ADHD Therapists in Redlands, CA

Hi! My name is Valerie Taber (she/her/hers), and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor based in Southern California. I am LGBTQIA+ and gender-affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and tend to do therapy from a framework of feminism, racial justice/equity, and body neutrality/fat-positive perspectives. My specialties include working with parenting issues, late diagnosed adult ADHD and neurodivergence, women/AFAB issues, and self-esteem.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, and licensed professional clinical counselor in the state of California. I specialize in working with parents, couples, families, adolescents, and children. My clinical experience is based on psychoanalytic therapy and Bowen Family Therapy. My passion is ​to help people understand the power of emotional intelligence and goal-directed synthesis. I am ​certified in CBT, DBT, and stress inoculation therapy. I work with clients who reside in the state of ​California. My language style is confident, relaxed, firm, polite, and respectful.

Parenting a struggling teenager can leave you feeling lonely & helpless - but it doesn’t have to be. For years, I’ve worked with teens who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, defiance, substance use, & much more...& I’ve learned that a little investment in therapy can go a long way in helping them make tough changes that lead to a successful future. Over time, I’ve developed strategies that allow me to quickly connect with teens, help them break through the systems & defenses that just don’t work for them anymore, & help them create new ways of relating to their world that increase their healthy connection to people & life.

Life can be hard and sometimes we need time and space to pause, reflect, and grow. I enjoy providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental space for someone at whatever stage of life they are in. I think therapy should be tailored to suit ones individual needs so I enjoy being collaborative with my clients and figuring out how they can get the most out of their experience in therapy. I use a lot of different therapy modalities but some of my favorites are CBT, DBT, Narrative, Gestalt, and NLP.

My passion is to help people, by listening and by working together to find practical solutions, I would never judge or impose my views but I would always empathize and try to understand the situation. I am bi-lingual and bi-cultural with a vast experience treating families, couples and adolescents. My goal is to always have a "good session" and for you to come out encouraged and empowered.

Hello, I'm Lunda! Thank you for your time. I have always been curious about what motivates a person. I have had my license for over 30 years and have worked in psychology, education, and business. I am a widow with two teenagers and love working on puzzles and being around animals. Feel free to contact me or leave me a message. I look forward to working with you soon!

I know what it's like to wonder if you're broken. You're feeling confused, frustrated, angry, and at war with yourself. I know you feel anxious all the time. That finding a direction for yourself is hard, because of the self-loathing that has become so normal for you, you don't even notice it half the time. I know that you know you "should" be accepting of your body and who you are, but you have tried in a million different ways and don't know how. So you get one more iced coffee; stay a little longer at work; binge that comfort show one more time, in an attempt to stave off the loneliness and pain.

I believe in a Life Balance perspective to helping individuals and family. I find that we tend to get stuck in certain ways of thinking and behaving which causes a cycle of dysfunction that is difficult to see and overcome. By developing insight and new skills, we have the ability to realign our lives into a more healthy Life Balance which will allow us to deal with life stress and problems by using a variety of resources at our disposal.

**Accepting new clients** If you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety or experiencing depressive symptoms you don't have to go through it alone. I have over 7 years of experience working with children, young adults, individuals, and families to help them reach their goals.

Talk therapy isn't enough and you're having a tough time containing your feelings, thoughts, urges and physical sensations. It’s spilling out into your personal and professional relationships and moving you further away from the life you imagined. Panic, grief and shame have you holding back, making it impossible to risk or rest. You are willing to work, just don't know where to start. You're realizing you need experienced support to not only heal and accept your tender parts, but also real tools you can put into action to self-regulate, transform and be able to grow through this! You want to get better and you will.

Perhaps my best quality is my ability to meet individuals where they are, acknowledging and respecting their unique perspectives and experiences.

My work is deeply influenced by my multicultural background and my ability to offer bilingual support. Growing up in a diverse environment taught me to value the multitude of cultures within our communities and the importance of inclusive communication. Speaking Spanish allows me to connect more personally with students and families, helping those who often feel left out of the educational conversation. My focus is on assisting children and adults who face significant educational challenges. This includes individuals from immigrant backgrounds, bilingual learners, and students from culturally underrepresented groups.

It is inevitable to feel pain, loss, grief, stress or fear, but you don't have to be alone on your journey. Life can be very unexpected, and complicated at times. I want you to know that I am here and ready to walk alongside you through this stressful time. I can't make it all go away, but I can help you find ways to better manage it all. My goal is to really understand you and help you feel safe. To encourage you to build resiliency to be able to continue walking through this life stronger and happier. I am here for you!

I remember when I looked at mental health, physical health, and relationships as separate. I thought everything had to fit in its own box, and didn't influence each other. But in fact, they DO. I now see how poor boundaries can affect how we eat, cope & practice self care. I can see how our relationships with our parents affects the way we see ourselves in relationships. As a therapist, I recognize that most people want a quick fix to improve their quality of life and relationships. However, it takes courage to acknowledge our habits, lifestyle, and self-limiting beliefs about ourselves. It also takes time to connect the dots.
