Valerie Knight

Licensed Master Social Worker, Certified Life Coach

I have been a social worker for over 15 years with a Master's in Social Work from Adelphi University. I am a Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW) and a certified Life Coach.

I strongly believe in the practices of Mindfulness, CBT, Person Centered, Strength based, Narrative, Cultural sensitivity and Solution Focused therapy approach. Helping individuals understand different stages as we conquer society, personal and work related challenges to help create a clearer picture of how we can be our best self and glow from the inside out.

I have experience working with the following areas: Motivational Interviewing, Grief/Loss, Depression, Self-Esteem, developing Coping Skills, break up and work/life stressors. I have a wealth of experience with older teens, young adults and older adults.

With the many challenges and changes of life, we all need a safe judgement-free space to share our feelings and opinions. My goal is to create that space for individuals to be their most authentic self.
