LMHC, 6 years of experience
I'm a licensed mental health therapist specializing in helping adults navigate life's challenges, with a focus on women's issues. I offer a compassionate and supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using a blend of psychodynamic, humanistic, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, I work collaboratively with clients to promote personal growth, heal past wounds, and achieve their goals.
In your first session with me, we’ll start with an intake where we discuss your background, current concerns, and what you hope to achieve in therapy. This helps me get a full picture of your situation so we can tailor the therapy to your needs. After that, our regular sessions will be conducted in a conversational style, where we openly explore your thoughts and feelings, working together to find the best path forward.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my commitment to being genuine and approachable, rather than just a clinical presence. I strive to connect with clients on a human level, creating an authentic and supportive environment where they feel truly heard and understood. My ability to blend empathy with practical therapeutic techniques helps clients feel comfortable and engaged in the process of personal growth.
I’m passionate about supporting women who are dealing with a range of issues, from low self-esteem and navigating life transitions to more specific challenges like anxiety, depression, fertility struggles, motherhood, and relationship difficulties. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can be, and I’m here to provide a safe space where you can explore your feelings, build confidence, and find your way through life’s changes. If you’re ready to work on personal growth and healing, I’m here to help.
Integrative therapy means combining techniques from different therapy approaches instead of sticking to just one. I combine cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) tools to shift unhelpful thoughts, psychodynamic methods to explore how past experiences affect you now, and humanistic principles to support personal growth in a trusting relationship. By blending these styles, I tailor therapy to fit your unique needs, addressing current challenges and deeper emotional patterns.

After about 8 months (and going) I am noticing significant changes in my mental health. I would recommend Valentina 100%
