Dominic Valdes (LCSW)

As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting all individuals, but particularly those within the LGBTQ+ community navigating complex emotional landscapes, including infidelity, betrayal trauma, sex addiction, and depression. My practice also centers on addressing challenges like anxiety, men’s issues, trauma, and relationship dynamics, with a deep commitment to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds. My approach is compassionate and culturally responsive, focusing on helping clients work through social anxiety, isolation, attachment issues, and personal growth. I bring extensive experience supporting young adults, exploring sexuality, managing relationship complexities, and addressing addiction and process-related challenges. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment that honors each client’s unique journey. My goal is to help you develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful strategies for personal transformation. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are, with respect, empathy, and genuine care.
