Valerie J. Peña, M.S., LPC

Hi there! My name is Valerie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a EMDR Trained Therapist in Texas. I hold years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults from various backgrounds. My expertise includes trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, coping skills and self-esteem to name a few. I am passionate about assisting others in becoming the best version of themselves. Life can be challenging and my goal is to be of support to help you process those challenges. I enjoy working together with clients to identify their strengths, address their concerns and develop a plan to achieve their goal(s). Through the therapeutic process clients will be the navigator throughout their journey of healing. Through therapeutic interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) as well as many others, Clients will be provided the support and guidance to process such emotions, feelings, and/or traumatic events. I understand the importance of allowing time to establish and build trust with each client, therefore, Client's can expect to experience a positive therapeutic environment where they can process their thoughts and feelings free of judgement.
