Nancy Valdes, LCSW

Nancy Valdes is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapy in English and Spanish. She earned her Master of Social Work from the State University of New York at Albany and brings 16 years of experience supporting adults across a range of settings, including home-based services, outpatient mental health clinics, crisis units, and correctional facilities.

In her work, Nancy draws from evidence-informed approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). She helps clients navigate concerns such as depression, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and the impact of trauma, with an emphasis on practical skills and thoughtful reflection.

Nancy values a collaborative therapy process and works in partnership with clients to identify which methods and strategies fit best with their goals. She also believes that a strong connection with a therapist can support the openness and transparency needed to make meaningful progress.

Outside of her professional life, Nancy practices meditation and enjoys reading, cooking, journaling, exploring different cuisines, traveling, and more recently, gardening. She loves animals and nature, and one of her personal goals is learning to play the guitar.
