Getting to know Irene Valencia

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and mental health healer for over 10 years, I see you, and my hope is to create the space to give you the undivided attention you deserve. Asking for help is not fun or easy, and I have the cultural sensitivity and experience to make the process as smooth and supportive as possible. I prioritize where you are in your healing process to adjust the therapeutic approach and interventions. I have specialized in working with children and adolescents dealing with a plethora of issues: depression, anxiety, behavioral challenges, substance use, bullying, academic challenges, self-esteem, peer relationships, self-harm, and thoughts of suicide, among many other emotional challenges. I have also worked with transitional aged youth and adults with co-occurring disorders, personality disorders, depression, anxiety, domestic violence, trauma, as well as grief and loss. I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavior Modification, and practice with ?lite? Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. Nonetheless, therapy is about feeling seen and understood, and I offer whatever it takes to make sure you get what you need. It is time to invest in yourself and make sure your therapist is the right fit. I am available for 10?15-minute consultations to help make the right choice in your provider.
