Meet Valena

I view counseling through a client-centered lens and incorporate Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) techniques and Internal Family Systems (IFS) into my work with clients. It is my intention to specialize in grief and loss counseling, as well as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I am committed to providing a calm, warm presence and environment that allows clients to feel safe and supported.

I am currently a second-year graduate student at Idaho State University - Meridian in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program. As a counseling intern, I have learned more about what it means to be human and deeply enjoy walking with clients on their journeys towards growth and healing.
