Providing Relief and Wellness for Kahului and Kihei
At Valdon Ross, LPC, we offer a unique blend of trauma-informed, somatic-mindfulness based counseling and therapy services, grounded in the principles of mindfulness, creativity, and self-expression. Our mission is to empower individuals to unleash their full potential, overcome life's challenges, and find meaning and purpose in their lives.
Our Approach
As a licensed professional counselor (LPC), I, Valdon Ross, bring over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have worked extensively with individuals, groups, and families grappling with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety, anger, grief, addiction, and relationship problems. My approach is centered around the concept of self-love and acceptance, encouraging individuals to confront and transform their pain, rather than rejecting or avoiding it.
Services
Our services encompass a range of modalities, including trauma-informed counseling, somatic-mindfulness based therapy, and creative expression through art and performance. We believe that creative expression is a powerful tool for healing and personal growth, allowing individuals to tap into their inner wisdom, creativity, and resilience.
Creative Expressions
As an artist and performer, I incorporate visual art, mural, and performance storytelling into my work. My creative expressions are inspired by folklore, faerie tale, mythology, and archetype, inviting individuals to embrace their imagination and explore the unseen aspects of life. Through my art, I aim to evoke wonder, inspire creativity, and foster a sense of connection to the world around us.
Artistic Process
My artistic process is deeply rooted in mindfulness and somatic awareness. I believe that the creative process is not separate from the individual's inner world, but rather an integral part of the human experience. I engage with my environment, allowing the spaces I work in to tell their own story, and I believe that the creative process itself has its own life force.
About Me
As a licensed professional counselor, I hold a Master's degree in Contemplative Psychotherapy and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a Certificate in Women's Studies. I am a registered LPC in the state of Colorado under my legal name, Patric Valdon Spriggs. My passion lies in exploring the human experience, and I firmly believe that the basis of human suffering lies in our inability to love ourselves.
Background
I began my career in the mental health field in 2007, and since then, I have worked with numerous individuals, groups, and families across various stages of life. I have worked with people struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, grief, addiction, and relationship problems, among other issues. My journey as an artist and performer has always been intertwined with my work as a counselor, and I believe that creativity is a fundamental aspect of the human experience.
