Ms Heather Valdivinos

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

I have been in the Mental Health Field for 4 years and have worked with all age groups, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults from different cultural backgrounds. My experience includes working with high-risk populations through different programs from well-known non-profit organizations.

About Me

As a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate, I draw on four years in mental health, supporting individuals and families. I guide clients of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds through life's complexities. My experience with high-risk populations from non-profit work informs a grounded, adaptable approach. I create a space where your unique story, whatever your age or background, can unfold at your own pace. This broad experience makes me a good match for those seeking understanding and tailored support.

Approach

After working with people across life stages, my sessions move at a practical, steady pace—collaborative and paced to your rhythm so you feel safe exploring difficult topics. I meet in Sun Valley, offer Spanish-language support and online appointments to fit real-world schedules. Together we track patterns, practice short evidence-based strategies between meetings, and involve family when it helps restore connection and safety. This way of working often suits those navigating transitions, trauma recovery, addiction, or chronic stress who want clear, manageable steps.
