Krisanna "Kris" Valencia 

Embarking on a journey of change begins with finding the right support. As an LMSW with seven years of experience in the mental health field, my mission is to offer a space where you, as my client, feel genuinely seen, heard, and free from judgment. Together, we can cultivate a therapeutic relationship that nurtures self-love, introspection, problem-solving, and efficacy, guiding you through life’s complexities with empathy and understanding.

With a Master of Social Work from Fordham University and a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Connecticut, my professional journey spans various settings, including residential and different forms of outpatient care. My specialization lies in working with both children and adults, helping them navigate emotional and behavioral challenges with sensitivity and skill.

My approach is person-centered and insight-oriented, drawing upon a blend of therapeutic techniques like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness practices. This eclectic foundation allows me to tailor my approach to each individual's unique needs, fostering a path towards healing and personal growth.

In our work together, we'll focus on building resilience, promoting self-awareness, and exploring your inner strengths. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking a supportive ear, I am here to walk with you on your path towards balance and harmony.
