Janette Valverde

My communication style

Open and supportive communication is important to me as we create a space that utilizes active listening and reflection. I can also shift, as each person may also need someone clear and direct. I want to ensure that each person feels safe in this space as they explore parts of themselves that may have been quieted.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work with children, teens, adults, and families across various settings, such as community, school, residential services, and group practice, has deeply informed my approach. Supporting people at different stages of life has helped guide my practice and reinforced the importance of meeting each client where they are.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and build practical strategies that fit your life. I'll support you in recognizing patterns, developing new skills, and moving toward the changes you want to see. Progress happens at your pace, and I'll be there to guide and encourage you along the way.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals, concerns, and what you hope to gain from our work together. This is also your opportunity to ask questions and see if we're a good fit. My aim is for you to leave feeling heard and hopeful.
