“Valeria helped me bring my confidence up and helped remind and teach me about personal priorities, and coping mechanisms. She also made me feel safe to share or not on subjects, and never made me uncomfortable. She was also always on time and never missed an appointment. I know she cares about what she does and who she helps and that made me also always show up and I came out of the sessions with more skills every time, or feeling better about myself.”

Getting to know Valeria Valadez
Hi there, I'm Valeria!
I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate their unique journeys toward healing and personal growth. If you allow me to be part of your journey, my goal as your therapist will be to provide a safe space to explore those thoughts and feelings that are so hard to talk about with other people. Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationships, life transitions, or simply seeking more clarity and peace, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and evidence-based care.
My approach
My approach when working with clients is strengths-based and client-centered. My therapeutic style is rooted in cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, strength-based therapy, and solution-focused techniques. I approach each client with empathy and respect, tailoring my techniques to meet their specific needs.
My focus
I focus on working with adults and older adults and specialize in helping with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, stress, grief, substance use, schizophrenia, psychosis, and pregnancy/prenatal/postpartum issues.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and respectful, all from a supportive and nonjudgmental frame. I believe it is important we give ourselves grace and space to grow to support our wellness.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey began with a passion for helping others. I have worked in the social services field for a significant amount of time in various settings, gaining hands-on experience with diverse populations. I obtained my Master’s Degree in Social Work and have continued to work in the mental health field ever since. Seeing my clients improve their overall well-being and quality of life has been incredibly rewarding.
