About Maria Valtierra

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, licensed in the state of Arizona with more than ten years of experience working as a counselor/therapist. I have worked with client with a wide range of concerns, mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, career challenges, ADHD, grief and loss. I also provided services to many people who have experienced substance and other forms of abuse like physical and emotional. My style of therapy is of respect, warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect like the humans we all are. The therapy approach that I use combines cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focus and mindfulness. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take the first step, I want to be there, on your corner, supporting you, step by step in your journey to a better life.
