Christine Valentín, LCSW

English | español Welcome to my profile. As a play therapist and social worker, I specialize in helping the following clients: 3- 8 year old's whose worries or anger outbursts are causing issues for the family or in school; Parents who want to learn and improve their parenting skills so they can reduce tantrums; Adults 21+ who are struggling in their relationships and want to set better limits with others; and adults who are concerned about an aging parent with cognitive issues like dementia. With 10+ years of experience, I offer my clients a space where they can feel safe to open up about their inner thoughts and can build courage to face their fears. For my clients who are over 21 +, we will meet virtually to talk about your current stressors and goals and figure out whether your past is showing up and impacting your ability to grow. When I work with parents, we talk about your child's behaviors, your needs and whether any of your childhood baggage is showing up so we can make you more confident and patient with yourself and child. As for children, our work is done in my office playroom in Middlesex, NJ. To learn more about how I can help you, call me, email me or visit my website.
