I absolutely love my job as a therapist and truly enjoy being able to help others reach a high level of satisfaction in their careers and in their personal relationships. My approach is mostly collaborative-I believe in tailoring my treatment plan for each individual patient with their input and coordinating care with other health care providers, when appropriate.

Life can be difficult sometimes, but you never have to go through it alone. Beginning to take power and control back of your life is not only empowering, but you are giving yourself a gift to be your authentic self. My strengths lie in the unique ability to connect with people by use of compassion and understanding, listening, humor, and therapeutic knowledge and skills. Providing a safe space to talk without judgment is imperative. I have been working in the field for over 30 years, and my heart is always filled with joy when I see and hear about my clients' emotional growth and healing. I have expertise in: relationship and marital issues; anxiety; depression; grief and loss; trauma and PTSD; pregnancy loss and infertility; sexual abuse and assault; and narcissistic abuse. I would be honored to travel on this journey towards healing and empowerment with you, as I have done with so many incredible people over the years. Due to being licensed in 3 states, I am telehealth only. Please call or email me. I know I can be of help.

Jennifer Valera, LCSW I am deeply passionate about helping others live their most fulfilling lives. As a therapist, my mission is to provide the highest quality of care in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. I create a supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered, using a strengths-based approach that honors each person’s unique belief system, culture, values, and goals. I believe in the power of collaboration, working side by side with my clients to address life’s challenges and foster personal growth. Drawing from a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I tailor each session to meet the individual needs of adults and couples, guiding them toward healing and their fullest potential. I specialize in supporting adults and couples navigating challenges such as relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), stress management, low self-esteem, life transitions, family conflict, grief and loss, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), and anger management. I also have experience providing substance abuse counseling for adults. I earned both my undergraduate and master’s degrees in clinical social work from the University of Central Florida. Outside of my work, I treasure time with my family—especially my little niece and nephew. I enjoy relaxing with a good documentary, true crime series, or movie, practicing yoga, sipping my daily coffee, and occasionally indulging in a well-earned nap.
