Elizabeth Casas-Valdovinos

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, great to meet you! I’m Elizabeth Casas-Valdovinos, a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides individual therapy to adults in English and Spanish. With more than five years of experience in inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult—and I’m committed to creating a welcoming, compassionate space where you can feel heard and understood.

I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, stress, grief and loss, life transitions, and challenges with self-esteem. Together, we can explore what you’re going through, identify your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move toward healing and meaningful change.

I earned my Master of Social Work from California State University, San Bernardino, and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in 2025. As a wife, mother, and Christian, I value compassion, connection, and hope. When desired, I welcome the opportunity to incorporate a client’s faith and personal values into therapy while respecting each individual’s unique beliefs and experiences.

Taking the first step toward counseling takes courage. I would be honored to support you on your journey.

You have probably been carrying something for a while without saying it out loud: anxiety that will not switch off, grief that still ambushes you, drinking that stopped feeling like a choice, or trauma your body has not put down. Helping people find their way through that feels like my sacred calling. Ever since I was young, I've been the person who deeply listens, and I've always sensed the healing that happens when we finally have a trusted, compassionate witness to our story. The story you carry about your past can be the source of your suffering or the key to your freedom, and together we can gently begin to shift it. Whatever pain you're holding, you don't have to hold it alone. I work with individuals, and with couples and families who want to find their way back to each other.

Jade Dearing

Jade Dearing

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Westlake Village, CA


Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.

I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.

Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.

I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Moreno Valley

Searching for addiction therapists in Moreno Valley starts with finding care that matches the type of support you need. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training in approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.

In a mid-sized city like Moreno Valley, your search may include therapists with local offices, therapists nearby in Riverside County, and virtual appointments across California. Virtual care can expand your options if local availability is limited or if your schedule makes travel harder. Along with specialty experience, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe addiction care, communication style, and experience with non-judgmental, harm reduction-informed support.

Therapy in Moreno Valley can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who match your needs, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare available therapists and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
