My approach is down-to-earth, collaborative, and focused on helping you find practical ways to feel better in your day-to-day life.

I get it. Life can throw some heavy and even strange stuff our way, and it's so hard to find ways to escape those overwhelming feelings. People often seek therapy to get those unbearable emotions to go away, to fix a part of them that is broken or wrong. But what if those parts just need space to exist, and for you to thrive alongside them? Therapy is that space. A place to unpack fears, trauma, and harmful labels safely. And when coping stops working, we figure out what does. Together, we uncover your resilience and build tools that last.

Many of my clients come to therapy after years of wondering why life feels harder for them than it seems to be for everyone else. They may have recently received an ADHD diagnosis as an adult or suspect that ADHD has gone unrecognized for years. Many have spent decades believing they were lazy, unmotivated, disorganized, or simply "not trying hard enough." The truth is often much more complex. Many adults with ADHD have also experienced trauma, chronic stress, difficult family dynamics, relationship challenges, or years of criticism that have left them feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from their strengths.

Hey, I’m Val. I don't do fake, sugarcoated therapy—I keep it 100% real, honest, and sometimes a little messy, just like life. Therapy should feel like a conversation, not a chore, and definitely not a lecture. Being from Queens, NY and a first-gen kid of immigrants, I know what it is like to carry expectations, push through stigma, and feel like you have to have it all together. I create a space where you can come as you are—messy, confused, overwhelmed, or all of the above. If you are unraveling trauma, battling anxiety, or just trying to survive the chaos, I am in it with you.

Many of my clients have come to me after being diagnosed fully believing that their lives were over. Mental health issues do not define who you are as a person. They are just a small part of why we react in particular situations, in specific ways. I have a passion to help my clients and their families to discover not only how to overcome their mental health issues, but to thrive.

Body Image Therapists
How does body image affect mental health?
Poor body image can influence mental health because it can reduce self-esteem and decrease functioning in other areas of one's life. Negative body image may hinder someone's ability to perform daily tasks, including professional and social responsibilities, because they may feel self-conscious or shame surrounding their appearance; a desire to change one's body as a result of negative body image can also trigger behaviors such as extreme dieting, excessive exercise, or obsessive social media comparison. Poor body image is associated with a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, although many people experience negative body image even in the absence of meeting the diagnostic criteria for any mental health disorders.

What does it mean to have a positive body image?
Body image refers to how one internally perceives their appearance and internally "talks" to themself about their body. Positive body image is therefore indicative of a positive perception of one's self and positive internal self-talk that underscores one's strengths. People who have good body image often have higher self-esteem, self-worth, and self-confidence, and they also often recognize how external factors, such as social media or relationship patterns, can influence body image. While body image can change at different life stages and in response to various triggers, practicing self-acceptance and a body-positive mindset can help maintain a more stable sense of positive body image.

Is body image the same as self-esteem?
Body image and self-esteem are often related, but they are distinct concepts. Self-esteem is a broader term that can be shaped by a number of factors outside of body image, including one's functioning at school or in the workplace; it refers to one's capacity to handle various life challenges. Poor body image can be one way in which one's self-esteem is reduced. Reduced self-esteem as a result of poor body image can cause individuals to feel negative about their appearance, withdraw from social interactions, and/or rely on harmful behaviors as a coping mechanism. A "body positive" approach to body image therapy is therefore often used to encourage a more positive view of one's self and thus encourage better self-esteem.

What type of therapy is best to foster a positive body image?
The type of therapy best suited to improve body image depends on each person, as there is not a single therapy specific to body image improvement. That said, many individuals with poor body image benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based therapy. CBT can be used to help challenge distorted or negative thoughts about one's body, while ACT and mindfulness practices can facilitate a more positive body image through self-acceptance and identification of one's personal strengths. Regardless of treatment type, clients should look for body image therapists who encourage the development of a sense of self outside of their external appearance and help clients reduce unwanted behaviors developed as a result of poor self-esteem, such as dieting or disordered eating patterns.
