Hello, I'm Alan Raddatz, director of Valley View Family Counseling Services. I'm here to interact with my patients through psychotherapy & counseling for individuals, couples and families with a competent and caring focus on understanding my clients needs, behaviors and communications to help achieve meaningful loving relationships and positive life outcomes. In preparation for this field I have had an extended clinical training background comprised of a two year internship followed by a five year residency with master therapist mentors in analytical, cognitive behavioral and alternative holistic modalities. My training period was subsequently augmented by a two year consultation relationship with a psychiatrist mentor and has been refined by the privileges of forty years of coaching, guiding and sharing efforts with clients in their personal journeys of challenges and development which may include any level of anxiety, depression, loneliness, relationship healing, addictions, etc. Commitment to my patients and clients.
