Getting to know Valerie Edwin

My name is Valerie and I am a LCSW providing virtual therapy. I have lived in Queens for 10 years, though I’ve lived in upstate NY before and grew up in the Midwest. I earned my MSW at Columbia University in 2014 and I have worked with several different populations in NYC since then. I’m excited to get to know you and see how I can be of help to you. Right now I am in network with a few insurances and I can provide a superbill to use out of network benefits and assist with filing. Please feel free to reach out!

What should a new client know about working with you?

You may be struggling with feelings of loneliness, self-doubt, depression, anxiety or other intense emotions. My goal is to target, challenge, and redirect the thinking that keeps you from feeling fulfilled. I typically use a flexible approach of cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge thoughts and motivational interviewing to explore change. I welcome those who have felt marginalized, excluded or lonely. Let’s get started!

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Initial sessions may exploring to see if I am a good fit for you and for you to identify goals in therapy. A diagnosis may be necessary, but that will be discussed with you. Ongoing sessions will follow a plan of care agreed with the clients. Overall, I am looking to help you feel comfortable and connected in therapy, and to feel like it is helpful to you.
