Getting to know Mariagrazia Valenti
-Disclaimer: Not currently accepting Medicaid insurance plans.-
Welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can feel heard and empowered. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and my hope is to make the process as comfortable as possible. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship stress. My goal is to provide clients with practical tools for coping while also fostering deeper self-awareness and personal growth. Whether you’re looking for short-term support or long-term guidance, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and balance.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a licensed mental health counselor, I help adults struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and perfectionism build confidence and find relief. My approach is supportive, direct, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, while also creating space for self-reflection and personal growth. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in self-doubt, or constantly overthinking, therapy with me is a place to reset and feel like yourself again.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work with high-functioning adults who want more than just coping tools--they want lasting change and a deeper connection to themselves. I offer a nonjudgmental, collaborative space where your goals and your voice lead the way.
Let's work together to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and in control.

Great experience for nearly 1.5 years. Maria actively listens and recalled what I shared every session. She gives a fresh perspective, poses insightful questions, and communicates well if there is ever a scheduling issue. I recommend Maria if you want someone who is compassionate, understanding, and can meet you where you’re at.
