I am Valerie Juste Mondesir, a bilingual therapist (English & Creole) who has worked in the mental health field in various capacities. I work with individuals, couples, families, and other related systems. I have worked with diverse clients across age, gender, sexual orientation, spirituality, culture, ability, and socioeconomic status. I help you grow in your innate capacity to feel more in charge of your life, which includes identifying and expressing your feelings, needs, and desires. I aim to provide a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where clients can openly confront issues, learn to better manage emotions, and engage in working toward their unique goals.
