Valentina Smith

I am Valentina, a clinical mental health counselor and play therapist here to support you. My approach focuses on care that respects your past, while looking toward your future.

I create a safe and warm space where children and teens can express themselves through play, art, and sand tray therapy, helping them process their worlds in their own natural language. For my adult clients, I offer compassionate trauma-informed guidance to help you navigate heavy experiences, reclaim your confidence, and find a renewed sense of peace.

Our first session is simply a chance to get to know each other and for you to feel comfortable in the space. We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope to work through. You don’t have to have all the answers or share everything right away. We’ll take it one step at a time, at your pace, with compassion and without judgment.
