Kate Valente, MS, LPC

Are you struggling to feel connected to yourself or others right now? Are you a parent who has a child that may be struggling with their own mental health, “big feelings”, or behaviors? Perhaps you’re exploring or questioning sexuality, gender, or identity?

I specialize in working with kids & teens, young adults, and the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma, difficult life transitions, PTSD, ADHD, and behavioral issues. I enjoy combining different techniques with my clients, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT), person-centered therapy, LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, mindfulness practices, and art & play therapy.

I truly believe in meeting my clients where they’re at and honoring the difficult journey that can take place when starting therapy. It is a unique experience for everyone, and my biggest goal is to create a comfortable, safe, authentic, and non-judgmental environment in order to nurture a trusting and lasting therapeutic relationship. I will work to actively listen and validate your feelings, while also providing tools and helpful strategies that you can apply to your individual life circumstances.
