Meet the Valentines Rehabilitation Team



At Valentines Rehabilitation, we are proud to introduce our dedicated team of professionals and volunteers, who are passionate about supporting every individual on their path to healing and recovery. Our staff brings a wealth of experience, compassion, and diverse expertise to our center.

Leadership

Aurora Valentines — Director and Owner
Aurora Valentines is the heart behind Valentines Rehabilitation. After several years serving as the Assistant Chief Medical Examiner Coroner at DMEC, Aurora shifted her focus to mental health and addiction recovery, fields close to her heart. She holds fellowships in both Forensic Science and Addiction Therapy, allowing her to bring a unique, empathetic, and structured approach to the center’s operations. Aurora’s vision is to create a space where accountability, growth, and healing are prioritized for all.

Clinical Staff

Dr. Andrea López, Psy.D., Psy.T. — Clinical Psychologist
My name is Doctor Andrea Marisol López and I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and raised in The Bronx, New York. I am a licensed psychologist based in Los Santos, San Andreas specializing in Clinical Psychology and Psychotraumatology. My background includes working with bilingual and special needs children.
My approach to patient care is holistic — I focus on non-medication therapies that blend the best practices from my studies and fieldwork to serve each patient’s unique needs.

Dr. Tanner Scott, MD — Medical Doctor
Dr. Tanner Scott is a board-certified physician specializing in Addiction Medicine and Mental Health Wellness. He leads our medical team with a focus on whole-body recovery, addressing both the physical and psychological impacts of addiction. Dr. Scott believes that healing begins with trust, compassion, and a personalized care plan:
“Every story is different. Our job is to listen, understand, and help rebuild hope.”

Support and Security

Reid Holden — Security Guard
With a background in private security and crisis response, Reid Holden ensures the safety and well-being of our staff, residents, and visitors. Calm under pressure and highly trained, Reid’s presence provides peace of mind throughout the facility.
“Safety isn’t about control. It’s about creating an environment where healing can happen freely.”

Jesse Cayden — Physician Assistant & Court Clerk Volunteer
Jesse Cayden serves as Dr. Valentines’ personal assistant and provides crucial administrative support for the rehabilitation center. Outside of the center, Jesse volunteers his time as a court clerk at the Los Santos Courthouse, balancing his love for justice and mental health work. Known for his warm demeanor and relentless work ethic, Jesse is an essential link between the medical team and the outside support systems many patients rely on.

Our Valued Volunteers

Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our community. Through their dedication, kindness, and selfless service, they help create a welcoming environment where patients can focus fully on their recovery. Whether helping with group sessions, organizing activities, or simply being a supportive presence, their contributions are truly invaluable.

Current Volunteers:
Spyrous Jones — Volunteer Coordinator
Jaya Tiwari — Art and Wellness Activity Leader
Isaac Montanelli — Peer Support Specialist
Aaliyal Evans — Group Fitness and Mindfulness Coach

Together, our volunteers bring energy, encouragement, and creativity, helping residents feel seen, heard, and cared for during every step of their journey.
