Valerie Smith

LCSW
Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Forest Therapy Guide (CFTG) in New York. I graduated summa cum laude from Fordham University (master's degree) and from Adelphi University (bachelor's degree). I work with individuals who are grieving (especially young adults who lost a parent), women and adolescents living with PTSD and CPTSD, and people going through life transitions such as becoming new mothers.
