Hi, I’m Valeria Lerma, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker–Supervisor with more than 15 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, couples, and families heal and grow. I offer counseling in both English and Spanish and work with many challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and life stress.
I specialize in multiple modalities and offer a truly ecclectic, individualized approach that is warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth. I believe therapy should feel safe and collaborative — a space where you can slow down, understand what’s happening inside you, and learn new ways to feel grounded and connected.
In addition to therapy, I also provide immigration evaluations for hardship, VAWA, asylum, and U-Visa cases. I approach these assessments with deep respect and care, helping individuals and families share their stories in a way that feels supportive and empowering.
Above all, I believe in people’s ability to heal. Whether you’re working through past trauma, relationship struggles, or daily stress, you don’t have to do it alone. Healing is possible — and it starts with being heard.
