Seph Valoren, LSW

If you’ve ever felt unheard or misunderstood in therapy, Seph might be the therapist for you. Maybe past therapy experiences left you feeling your therapist wasn’t listening, didn’t “get” you, or was pathologizing the things that make you different. Maybe you feel like your story is too weird or too ugly to share with someone who doesn’t have weirdness or ugliness in their own life.

If you resonate with that, you might be an ideal fit for Seph’s caseload. Seph has worked extensively with creatives, deep thinkers, “gifted kids” (present and former), the intellectually precocious, outcasts, and those who challenge norms. And as someone with lived experience as some of these, he understands the struggles that come with self-awareness, identity, and existential questioning.

Sessions with Seph are meant to be empowering while also soberly acknowledging the immense pressures of modern life. Seph works to help clients develop practical strategies to overcome present-day barriers while also exploring the experiences that shaped them. This often involves uncovering the self-limiting beliefs, maladaptive reactions, and unconscious patterns that may be holding you back from being your truest self.
