Gilbert Valdez

Hello, I'm Gilbert. I'm an independently licensed psychotherapist based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico. My approach is eclectic with a strong focus on cognitive behavioral therapy and skills training. Over the course of my career, I've treated children, teens and adults with various serious mental illness diagnoses or severely emotionally disturbed. I have expertise in the acute crisis space, trauma integration and resolution, as well as men's issues. I take a Rogerian and person-centered approach in my practice. We could meet in the community (IRL) or engage via telehealth, whatever works best. I would love to support you in your quest to achieve your goals. Let's chat and see if we are a good fit. Here is what some previous clients and supervisees have said about Gilbert: "I think what I most appreciate about you is your graciousness." - Client "You have a way of making learning fun and interesting. You also find ways to value and foster importance in even the most difficult situations and or people." - Rose (BMS/CCSS) "You make talking about emotions cool, and for guys, that's very valuable." -Client "The things you said at my intake, I resonated with them, and for once, I felt, someone knows my pain." -Client "I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the growth and connection with you as well. Have always thanked you in my heart. I've healed and grown and i'm ready to be." - Client "You are strong at what you do." - ER Doc "I miss working with you. You made a huge impact on our clients, and I have a ton of respect."- D.O. "You are pure sunshine." -Client
