Valery Hidalgo, Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern, EMDR Trained

My therapy services may look different than a traditional "talk therapist."  For instance, I incorporate play, art and games into my services.  I also use EMDR, which helps children, teens and adults process traumatic experiences in a safe, effective way.  My goals is to help participants gain insight into their lifestyle thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I believe that observing an individual from a holistic perspective is crucial.

​

I earned my bachelor's in psychology from Florida International University in 2019 and graduated with my Master's in mental health counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University in August of 2022.  While I may seem new to the field, I have been interning at Berger Counseling Services since 2021 and continue to be supervised by Marla. 

I am most passionate about helping individuals with social anxiety and depression. This dedication is due to my personal experience during my early adolescence. I am particularly drawn to working with young adults and teens because in most instances mental health issues develop at an early age.  Targeting the symptoms early during therapy will serve as a preventative measure.  This way, children, adolescents and adults can have the tools and coping techniques to walk through any obstacle that comes their way. 

I offer therapy services in English and Spanish.  I look forward to supporting you and your family.
