Getting to know Stephen Valenciano

I am a licensed psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience supporting children, teens, adults, and families. I work with clients aged 3–103, providing therapy for concerns including autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, OCD, trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. My approach creates a nurturing, supportive, and culturally sensitive environment where clients feel heard and understood. I understand that challenges affect not only the individual but also the family, so I include parents and caregivers when appropriate to provide holistic support. Clients often describe me as calm, down-to-earth, patient, and empathetic. In sessions, I tailor strategies to each client’s unique needs to improve emotional regulation, coping skills, and overall well-being. I offer both individual and family therapy, helping families communicate effectively, strengthen relationships, and develop strategies for growth and positive change. I also provide parenting guidance for families navigating behavioral challenges or supporting children with special needs. My goal is to equip clients and families with tools and support for meaningful, lasting improvements. I am committed to partnering with you to provide resources and guidance for positive change at any age. Thank you for considering me as part of your support network—I look forward to working with you and your family.
