Valerie Leyva, MSW(She/Her/Hers)

Greetings! I am currently accepting new clients. I believe that therapy can change lives. When you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about the next step, having someone who truly listens can make a powerful difference. I create a supportive space where you can talk openly, feel understood, and work toward real solutions. In therapy, I see you as the expert on your own life. I work alongside you to understand your experiences and help you build practical skills that support lasting change.

My approach centers on empathy, collaboration, and respect. Together, you will identify goals, develop coping strategies, and create a path forward that fits your life. I have experience supporting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-esteem, women’s issues, trauma, and other life challenges.

I strive to create a calm, welcoming environment where you feel comfortable sharing what is on your mind. I draw from several evidence-based approaches to meet your unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness practices, and task-centered techniques.
