I have 26 years of experience dealing with individuals, couples, families in therapy. We will work together to develop plans that are unique and right for you.
I was drawn into this profession from an early age, always curious about people, what they do, how they think, how they go about solving problems or getting stuck in them. Even when we do things well, we stumble over life's hurdles. It can feel overwhelming trying to find a way out or up or back. A listening heart and a supportive hand can be a big help finding our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have worked with a wide range of people and concerns.
As a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, the provider helps clients manage their mental health with both medication and therapy. The provider is trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions and works together with each client to find the best plan. Conversations are private, and client comfort and safety are top priorities. Clients are encouraged to ask questions and share concerns. If urgent help is needed outside of sessions, contact information will be provided. The provider’s main goal is to support clients in feeling better and living well.
Hello my name is Valerie Cotto I am a license mental health counselor. I have a master's degree from Springfield College. Currently my heart is set on supporting women during their pregnancy journey and beyond. Maternal mental health is very important and sometimes overlooked. I want to change that. My experience also includes substance abuse treatment, depression, anxiety and women's overall health.
Do you struggle with anxiety, persistent stress, low mood, difficulty focusing, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday life? If your symptoms are affecting your relationships, work, sleep, or overall well-being, psychiatric medication management may help you feel more balanced, focused, and in control. My approach to prescribing is thoughtful, evidence-based, and individualized. I take the time to understand your concerns, review your treatment history, discuss medication options, and monitor your response over time. Ongoing appointments focus on evaluating symptom improvement, assessing side effects, and making medication adjustments when clinically appropriate. My goal is to help you find an effective treatment plan that supports your functioning and quality of life. In addition to my work with adults, I specialize in treating ADHD, Autism, and Anxiety in children and teens.
