Dr. Alisa Valente

Therapy is a sanctuary, and you deserve a safe place to tell your story. I am a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years of experience treating adults with a variety of mental health needs. In therapy we will work together to help you overcome anxiety or other distressing emotions, build or improve relationships, or meet other goals you have for yourself.

Clients I treat may have frequent anxiety, worry, phobias or panic attacks. They may avoid leaving homes and/or be especially nervous in social situations. I also treat adults with depression, loneliness, self-esteem issues, grief and trauma histories. I treat adult children of abusive/toxic parents, older adults coping with age-related stressors and caregivers of older adults. I also treat adults with personality disorders such as Borderline Personality Disorder.

I provide CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with components of DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapies. I am a strong believer in evidence-based treatment. I understand you want treatment that has been proven, so when I recommend a strategy, I like to explain why it will be helpful. I also believe that therapy should be collaborative (we work together) and adapted to each individual client.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my bio. I am happy to set up a brief, free consultation to determine whether we are a good fit for therapy. I look forward to talking with you.
