Theresa Valero

My communication style

My communication style is warm, supportive, and open. I'll listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and share observations to help you make sense of your experiences. I'll be honest and clear when helpful, while remaining compassionate and respectful of your pace and intentions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to become a therapist grew from seeing how difficult it can be to experience something without having the words or understanding to make sense of it. I want to help others explore what they're going through, develop more awareness and skills and find a path forward that fits their needs.

My goals for you

Your goals are at the center of our work. Whether you want to manage stress, change patterns, build confidence, feel more grounded, or discover more about who you are, we'll work toward what feels meaningful to you. For some, therapy may focus on developing coping skills; for others, it may focus on creating deeper change.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know one another and to explore what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about what you've been experiencing, what feels important to you, and what you hope to gain from therapy. I'll ask question to better understand your needs and goals, while making space for you to share at your own pace.
