Nicole Valdez
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I am a neurodiverse affirming clinician offering support to women in all phases of life.
I have worked as a Clinical Social Worker for 15 years and am committed to supporting women's mental health in all phases of life. My typical clients are women who are struggling to get to know themselves either for the first time or after years of others telling them who they should be. I specialize in mental health in the pregnancy and postpartum stages including decision regarding termination of unplanned or medically complex pregnancy. Additionally, I work with neurodivergent women and those parenting neurodivergent children. Our work together will often include laughter and some sarcasm. I hope to offer a space for you to safely explore different ways of being in the world.
