Getting to know Valerie Capizzo Freyre

Hi there, I'm Valerie! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge, providing outpatient psychotherapy for individuals managing trauma, anxiety, stress, ADD/ADHD, and adjustment disorders. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level II, passionate about helping those suffering from single incident, critical incident, or complex compound trauma. My approach I’m a science gal. I provide the ‘why’ behind skills and ‘how’ they help, not just prescribing them without explanation. This is why evidence-based practices like CBT and Trauma Informed Care are important. Evidence-based practice is goal-directed and solution-focused, with treatment goals guided by your specific needs. My focus I want my clients to have the same evidence-based, clinical skills for healthy coping, healing, personal growth, and emotional well-being as I possess. I aim to equip clients with tools to manage life stressors, difficult circumstances, relationships, and moods. My communication style I approach therapy with deep empathy and openness. My feedback is straightforward and practical, yet kind and encouraging. We will embark on a journey of healing and understanding together using evidence-based, feedback-informed, goal-directed care. I integrate light-heartedness and humor to temper therapy’s weight while holding your space with intense care and concern. I look forward to working with you! My journey to mental healthcare I wanted to be a counselor since childhood. I felt deep empathy then and it’s never changed. My own therapeutic journey for trauma and anxiety fueled my desire to help others as I was helped. My goals for you I listen to what you want to achieve and provide clinical insight to set realistic expectations and goals. We develop goals collaboratively.
