About Walterson Torchon

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of counseling experience. I have worked with individuals and families presenting with a wide range of concerns. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, loss, and with families in conflict. I have also worked with individuals struggling with various life transitions. I have counseled in mental health clinics with clients within criminal justice settings (adult and adolescent), and as a school-based therapist for teens.

My counseling philosophy is that YOU are the expert of your own life; and therefore, you know BEST what you need. My approach is integrative, incorporating different therapeutic techniques to make sure that your specific concern is addressed in the way most effective for you. Our work together will always be person (you)- centered and strength-based; because, again, I truly believe that you have what it takes to succeed. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to accomplish whatever goals you have may have set for yourself. Together, we can deconstruct “stinking thinking” and unhealthy habits; and, replace them with healthy thought patterns and habits. Congratulations on taking the first step, seeking therapy.

I look forward to meeting you and to begin working together! Let’s do it!

“A pleasure to work with”

“Walterson has helped me find a deeper understanding of myself, provided multiple tools to aid me in my day to day life, and he provides information in a way that I can understand and digest, no matter how complex or alien the concept may be to me. I greatly appreciate his professional input, and I leave each session better equipped to take on the world.”

“Walt has been great! Good listener, great communicator!!”

“Walt has a fantastic ability to put things into perspective. He holds me accountable for my goals and is always encouraging and positive. I could see him as a friend if it weren't for that whole client/therapist boundary. That's how good he is at his job!”

“Walt is a great therapist! I would say he’s a realist ! He will definitely open your mind to viewing situations from all perspectives.”

“Very proactive and welcoming of communication”

“I like Walt because he seems to understand deeper than surface level how to make a situation amicable for both parties regardless of perceived wrong doing. This man is able to meet you where you are(mentally) and work from there. Some days my partner and I aren’t on the same page but we leave the session with the instruction on how to get there. Sometimes we have no “problems” and we still leave with tools that help continue prospering.”

“He keeps it real and listens. His style varies on your needs. I appreciate it him very much”

“I was feeling like there was no hope and at a loss for my marriage. Finally we decided to try this app and I am very grateful to have been matched with Walterson! Even after our very first session my husband felt hopeful and excited to continue and he was the hardest to even get talking!”

“Walterson has been great his energy is amazing and down to earth.”

“Literally BEST therapist I’ve ever had. Immediately started feeling better after our sessions. Great at helping me towards my goals in all aspects of my life which makes my quality of life better. He’s going to challenge you. Listen to you. Give you homework. And applaud you when no one else will. I can tell he’s passionate about what he does. Really think this is his calling and purpose. I recommend 100%!!!”

“Good therapist so far.”

“We are very pleased with how Walt has helped us address our issues as a couple. We highly recommend this therapist. He has excellent communication skills, a great personality and is very objective and compassionate, highly professional, and his methods are helpful and effective.”

“Walt is an excellent therapist!!!”

“I've had the pleasure of working with Walt for a few years and I've been very happy with his service. He's a very approachable man who has always been willing to patiently work with me and be accommodating. <br /> <br /> I've been struggling with self hatred and he has provided me with insight and strategies to view myself and my circumstances in a more fair and reasonable light. His perspectives will be something I'll take with me for life and has helped me countless times outside of our sessions. <br /> <br /> He is a very professional, friendly, and insightful therapist and words can't begin to describe how grateful I am for our time together. I highly recommend him.”
