Getting to know Carol Valencia

Hi there, I'm Carol! If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—whether from past trauma, grief, or relationship challenges—you’re not alone, and change is possible. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults of all ages who are navigating trauma, relational rupture, and loss. My focus I work best with adolescents and adults who are: Processing trauma, abuse, or grief. Feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Struggling in relationships or patterns they don’t fully understand. Wanting to feel more connected and grounded. My approach My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I use evidence-based practices including EMDR and somatic therapy to help process difficult experiences and support nervous system regulation—so you can feel more grounded, connected, and in control. My communication style My style is supportive and non-threatening. I aim to create an environment for clients to share as they build trust and comfortability. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist has been filled with many personal and workplace experiences. I believe those experiences enrich what I can offer my clients. My goals for you I take a flexible, individualized approach to therapy based on your needs and goals. I integrate a number of evidence-based methods to support both emotional insight and practical change. Our work will focus on helping you understand what you’ve been carrying while also building tools to feel more steady and supported in your daily life. Our first session In our first sessions, we’ll focus on what’s bringing you in and what you’d like to see change. You don’t need to have everything figured out—that’s something we’ll explore together. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, setting goals and adjusting as your needs evolve.
