Annemarie Vallonga

I am a licensed clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience. I have worked in a variety of settings with people of all ages and backgrounds. This has resulted in my ability to provide mental health services and support for individuals with a wide range of symptoms and needs. I have been trained in various treatment modalities with a particular emphasis on trauma and addiction. I am a Christian and active in my faith. I love to incorporate faith and beliefs specific to the client into their treatment if they are wanting to do so.

I am a client-centered practitioner and believe that change and healing occur within the context of a therapeutic relationship. I place emphasis on developing trust and rapport to create a safe space for clients to engage in difficult work. I strive to educate clients regarding diagnoses, symptoms, and various treatment options to instill hope and empower them to make the changes they want to make.

It's important that clients leave the first session feeling hopeful and all sessions feeling confident in the healing process.
