Therapist
Hello, I'm Valentina, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a focus in adult mental health. I earned my Master's in Social Welfare (MSW) from UCLA and have clinical experience in hospital and residential settings, college campuses, and community mental health clinics. I have extensive experience working with talented, high achieving individuals in Silicon Valley who find their professional success is not as fulfilling as expected. I have also been certified in the work of Brené Brown and The Daring Way. My approach focuses on the individual needs to each client, not their diagnosis. I start by asking, "What do you want to be different in your life?" I also identify as a woman of color and recognize that there are implicit and explicit structures of power and privilege that can significantly impact our thoughts and lives daily.
