Our Services:  How We Can Help

At Your Service

When a child is troubled or hurting, it’s only natural to want to do everything in your power to help them. And that’s what inspires and motivates Clovis Counseling and Valente Orozco, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

To quote Mr. Orozco, “Our mission is to promote children’s emotional and behavioral health by bringing together the school, home, and community through advocacy, therapy, and resource coordination”.

Listed below are some of the ways we can help you and the children in your care. We’re Clovis Counseling , and we’re at your service.

Clovis Counseling believes that assessments and evaluations should take into consideration not only the child but the family, school and community as well. At Clovis Counseling we seek out information and/or involvement from others in an individual's life when possible. This lets us bridge gaps and improve communication in order to put all the pieces together in a comprehensive evaluation. With all the information gathered, an informed plan for treatment is then developed in collaboration with the family.

Our approach to therapy looks at the whole person within the context of their life. We seek to understand the impact of experience, past and present, to inform our work together in the present moment. Further informed by neuroscience, we understand that the therapeutic experience can support change as an individual gains deeper awareness of what IS, rather that what SHOULD be.

Using a Gestalt therapy framework, the therapy experience and the therapeutic relationship become new elements in the field of your life. Through this work we can come to understand more clearly the processes through which you experience yourself and your world. As we develop greater awareness of the HOW in the current moment, we can discover a richer and more satisfying array of options for fuller living.

For children, therapy utilizes their own language: play. Clovis Counseling offers services by Valente Orozco, LCSW a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor and Certified Gestalt Therapist with Children and Adolescents. These specialized credentials and experience ensure that your child is receiving quality services from a trained professional.

Through the use of Play, therapy can be delivered in a way that children understand and can take in. Play Therapy supports the child’s development of an improved sense of self and ability to more effectively communicate their needs, thoughts and feelings to the world around them. Using Play from a Gestalt Therapy perspective provides the child experiences to build and strengthen their sense of self, understand and express their emotions, and to become self-nurturing and compassionate.

With a strong sense of self, an ability to engage with their world more effectively, and integration of self-nurturing and self-compassion processes, children can experience themselves in a full and satisfying way. With this experience of themselves, they can then consider, experiment with, and ‘try on’ new ways of being and new behaviors.

Clovis Counseling is a Trained & Certified Provider for Unyte's Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).  SSP is an evidence-based listening therapy designed to reduce sound sensitivities and improve auditory processing, behavioral state regulation, and social engagement behaviors through filtered music.

Among the many issues that may be the focus of therapy, family communication and interaction is one which requires specialized treatment. Family Therapy seeks to identify patterns of communication and interactions, patterns which keep families “stuck” and lead to continued arguments and frustrations. The benefits of family therapy are often seen within each individual member of the family unit.

Clovis Counseling offers family therapy utilizing a variety of orientations in order to increase positive interactions, connectedness and communication within the family.
