Overall rating

“I look forward to my visits with my therapist and they are very helpful to my healing. The only reason my recommendation is not a 10 is because the website rarely functions as it should and I lose time with our visits while dealing with connection issues”

Getting to know Stephen Valente

Hello, and welcome—I’m glad you’re here. Reaching out is a meaningful first step toward change and healing. I’m Steve Valente, LCSW, a Colorado-based therapist with over 30 years in social services. I work with adults and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, and relationship challenges. You may notice stress lingering, sleep worsening, or feeling on edge without knowing why. Often, these struggles show up in the body, mood, or relationships before the root is clear. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative, blending CBT, ACT, and strengths-based work to help you better understand patterns and create lasting change. In addition to my clinical work, I occassionally work as touring musician, which gives me a unique understanding of the pressures and unpredictability of creative life. I especially enjoy working with musicians and creatives to stay grounded, manage stress, and build a life that supports both mental health and passion. I believe you are the expert in your own life. My role is to support, guide, and partner with you in building the life you want. I’d be honored to work with you.
