Nancy Valdes, LCSW

Nancy Valdes is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who provides therapy in English and Spanish. She earned her Master in Social Work from the State University of New York at Albany and brings extensive experience supporting adults across a range of environments, 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) to help clients navigate concerns like depression, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and the impacts of trauma. She values a collaborative style, working alongside clients to identify the methods and practical tools that best fit their needs and support their personal healing process.

Nancy believes that feeling genuinely connected to a therapist can help create the openness needed to make meaningful progress toward goals. Outside of her professional role, she practices meditation and enjoys reading, cooking, journaling, exploring different cuisines, traveling, and most recently, gardening. She loves animals and nature, and one of her personal goals this year is learning to play the guitar.
