I'm Valaria, a licensed clinical alcohol and drug counselor in New Jersey with 14 years of experience helping people work through substance use, anxiety, and the stress of managing a chronic health condition. I meet you where you are, and I'd love to talk with you about what support could look like for you.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which means we'll work together to spot the thought patterns and habits that keep you stuck, and build practical tools you can use right away. My goal is for you to leave each session with something concrete you can use in your week.
In our first session, I'll ask about what's bringing you in and what you're hoping will be different. There's no pressure to have it all figured out, we'll go at your pace. By the end, you'll know what our work together could look like, and you should feel heard, not judged.
