I find it greatly difficult to describe my feelings and thought process. I struggle with alot of shame, embarrassment telling others what makes me feel sad, disappointed and upsetting. Valentina helps me express my feelings comfortably and slowly release alot of built up sadness and worry. She makes me feel safe in expressing my pain on things I’ve tried to push away and forget for years . She does not rush me, she’s calm, kind , empathetic and authentic … I look forward to understanding myself and healing with her help .

I have over 20 years experience in working with adults, children and adolescents providing individual therapy, , group and family therapy. I'm very eclectic in my approach and personable and try to help empower clients through mindfulness training, solution focused approaches, trauma focused care, meditative approaches such as EFT to best help clients reach their goals. I believe every client has the potential to promote their “best selves” and therefore making healthy decisions in their lives, which will offer more enrichment in their lives.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Valentina is like a breath of fresh air. I feel I can be myself and talk to her & I feel like I am seen, heard, understood, safe, & supported! She’s great & would recommend her to anyone.
Valentina is a great listener and even if she can’t respond to a message right away she will get back to me when she can and she helps me feel better about myself.
