Maribel Valencia

Bilingual Child Therapist

Hi, I’m Maribel! I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker, supervised by Jennie Powe Runde (REAT, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #46457). I have a Master’s in Social Work with a concentration in Military Population and Setting.

I’m passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges. Whether it’s Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Divorce, Phobias, Emotional Regulation Challenges, symptoms related to OCD, or Autism, I’m here to help! I use Play Therapy and Talk Therapy to make the process engaging and effective. I love working with kids (2 and up), teens, and young adults, and my approach is all about being open, collaborative, and holistic.

Seeing my clients grow and make progress is one of my greatest joys. It’s an honor to be part of the journey with children and their families, helping to create lasting, positive changes.

When I’m not at work, you can find me trying out new foods and restaurants, playing Nintendo games, and crafting the perfect playlists. Let’s make positive changes together!
