Stefany Valencia

My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a deeper exploration of personal history, emotional experiences, and recurring relational patterns. My ongoing psychoanalytic training also forms the way I listen and understand the complexity of each person's experience. I believe that understanding why we feel, think, or respond in certain ways can open up meaningful possibilities for change. In therapy, we explore both current difficulties and the experiences that may have contributed to them. Depending on your needs, our work may involve identifying patterns in thoughts and behavior, exploring emotional responses, examining relationship dynamics, developing coping strategies, or practicing new ways of approaching difficult situations. I work collaboratively, adapting the pace and focus of therapy to each person's circumstances. At times, this includes practical exercises or reflections between sessions, helping connect what we discover in therapy with everyday experiences. In couples therapy, I pay particular attention to communication, emotional needs, recurring conflicts, and the relational patterns that influence how partners understand and respond to one another. My goal is to help you develop a more nuanced understanding of yourself and your relationships, while building the capacity to make deliberate, sustainable changes.
