Getting to know Aida Valerio Lerner

Hello! I'm Aida Valerio-Lerner, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Columbia University. I found my calling 11 years ago when I discovered my passion for providing people with a therapeutic space to heal, grow, and ultimately transform. Are you going through a personal challenge or major life transition? Do you need a safe space to have your experiences affirmed and validated? Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions and in need of support? Have you considered speaking to someone but are unsure of how to begin? Wherever you are in your journey, I want to congratulate you on exploring possibilities to receive help. Therapy, like anything new or unknown, can feel scary. When Wendy was learning how to fly in Peter Pan, her fear of ?what if I fall?? was met with Peter's response of ?oh, darling, what if you fly?? Not only did she fly, but she also transformed! My therapeutic approach is gentle, warm, and trauma-informed to ensure your comfort every step of the way. I listen attentively and non-judgmentally, welcoming your authentic self. You can express yourself in English and/or Spanish, as I am fluent in both languages. Together, we can overcome anything.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy is a journey where you explore imbalances and ways to communicate and resolve them. This journey can be hard at times and there are no quick fixes! But once committed, I hope that moments of peace, faith, and truth are felt! You can expect sessions to be used to deconstruct notions of imbalances and find areas of strength and freedom. You can expect commitment and caring listening from me as well as positive energy. I hope this is felt and it brings some clarity on your decision to begin this journey!
