About Valentina Gasparro

Hello my name is Valentina Gasparro and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor whom holds a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology. I have over 20 years experience in working with adults, children and adolescents providing individual therapy, , group and family therapy. I'm very eclectic in my approach and personable and try to help empower clients through mindfulness training, solution focused approaches, trauma focused care, meditative approaches such as EFT to best help clients reach their goals. I also am trained in EMDR. I believe every client has the potential to promote their “best selves” and therefore making healthy decisions in their lives, which will offer more enrichment in their lives. I’m dedicated to helping clients improve their well being and it’s so exciting and fulfilling in seeing clients positively transforming their lives through therapy — I'm looking forward to helping you on your path to healing and self discovery!

“As someone in the helping field myself it can be challenging finding a therapist you really jive with. She has been heaven sent in my life and provided me with a safe space & helped me with compassion fatigue & other personal struggles. I’m very grateful to be working with her! ”

“I find it greatly difficult to describe my feelings and thought process. I struggle with alot of shame, embarrassment telling others what makes me feel sad, disappointed and upsetting. Valentina helps me express my feelings comfortably and slowly release alot of built up sadness and worry. She makes me feel safe in expressing my pain on things I’ve tried to push away and forget for years . She does not rush me, she’s calm, kind , empathetic and authentic … I look forward to understanding myself and healing with her help . ”

“Valentina is like a breath of fresh air. I feel I can be myself and talk to her & I feel like I am seen, heard, understood, safe, & supported! She’s great & would recommend her to anyone. ”

“Valentina is a great listener and even if she can’t respond to a message right away she will get back to me when she can and she helps me feel better about myself. ”
