About
Hello There! My name is Valerie Paredes. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I specialize in working with individuals coping with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and other mental health conditions. My experience includes working in outpatient settings in non-profit organizations and directly operated government clinics. I have worked in community-based mental health, treating adults dealing with severe mental illness and co-occurring disorders. I am passionate about helping individuals confront and overcome their mental health challenges to begin to live a better life. During our first session, we will start with brief introductions. Our first session is the perfect time for us to get to know each other. We will have the opportunity to explore what you hope to gain from therapy. We will have an open discussion about specific challenges you are facing and work collaboratively to create a uniquely tailored treatment plan.
