Cidna Valentin, PhD

ProfessionalBio

As a Black, Haitian-American psychologist with diverse social and professional experiences, I’m committed to providing culturally-relevant and integrative care. My approach is collaborative and rooted in a deep understanding of how culture, family, systemic barriers, and personal resilience shape mental health.

I am passionate about creating healing spaces for marginalized communities and supporting first and second generation Americans as they navigate multiple cultural worlds. I provide online therapy and psychological evaluations in English and Haitian Kreyòl (non-native speaker).

My treatment areas include: 

  • Depression

  • Expatriation, migration, and acculturation problems

  • Global mental health and international psychology

  • Haitian mental health

  • Reproductive mental health

  • Racial stress and trauma
