Valerie Ferrer-Douglas

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked in group homes, with at-risk and transitional-age youth, first responders, as well as with children & families involved in the complex child welfare system since 2013. I offer an open mind, compassionate and warm practice. I believe everyone has the power to overcome upsetting, unwanted feelings, thoughts and behaviors. My goal is to come along side of you and help you overcome these unwanted feelings.

As a seasoned clinician, I am an empathetic and caring person, with a laid-back style, who utilizes several different evidenced-based interventions with her clients, based on their individual needs. I will incorporate spiritual practices, mindfulness, and the client’s strengths into their therapeutic process.

I am passionate about helping first responders, teens, and adults, who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ , Christian Trauma and those experiencing past trauma, to improve the quality of their lives. Through a collaborate, non-judgmental strengths-based approach, I am able to guide the client towards positive change. Having worked with a diverse client population, I am culturally informed and sensitive to the complexities of the human experience.
