Rising Tides Counseling, LLC

My name is Marvin Valdez, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I received my Bachelor's Degree(s) in Psychology and Social Sciences from Upper Iowa University - Alexandria, Louisiana in 2014, and my Master's Degree from Springfield College - Milwaukee. I have experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and substance dependency. I like to focus on my client's strengths and values to help them see their full potential and enrich their life. I utilize Person Centered Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to best serve my client's needs. Through education, experience, and empathy, I practice with objectivity and consideration of everybody's personal values, beliefs, world views, and experiences. We all come from different backgrounds, and I take that into deep consideration when talking to my clients. In my free time, I like to go on hikes, ride my motorcycle, play bass guitar in a band, spend time with my friends and family, and travel.
