Arilene ‘Ari’ Valdez
Masters Level Intern
Lewis University
Ari says, "when I was a kid, I dreamed of a career where I could make a big impact on people's lives. As a training professional, my goal is now also to have as many lives as possible impact mine. Through empathy, compassion, and evidence-based practices, I get the honor to learn with clients about how to best be their support. Like many people in the helping field, I strive to be a therapist that is inviting to individuals and offers a safe emotional space. I hope to give people the opportunity to do the most human thing of all - heal. Whether you are healing from hurt, loss, or negative life experiences, I want to be someone with whom you can safely feel your emotions. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds and with a variety of needs. I am grateful to be here and in this line of work, to learn about and from you, and to form authentic connections to help others grow and heal."
