Valerie Velarde

Hi, I am Dr. Valerie Velarde, and I am happy you've chosen to explore psychotherapy as a possible tool in your healing arsenal. I believe allowing yourself to be compassionately and non-judgmentally witnessed and informed by our time together has the power to radically change the circumstances that bring you to therapy. I enjoy working with teens, adults, and couples who recognize the difficulties of modern life and are seeking greater freedom, joy, and access to community. I am a queer, multiracial therapist and abolitionist who aims to provide a collaborative, supportive, non-pathological, and critically informed container for our time together. I offer an integrative approach that includes psychodynamic, existential, and feminist interventions to address your therapy goals. I currently only offer virtual care; however, I do take insurance!
