Valencia Pellerin, LPC-Associate

Meet Valencia

For over a decade, I’ve walked alongside children, teens, and families through the ups and downs of life—first as a teacher, now as a certified school counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I have a heart for helping kids find their voice, manage big emotions, and build confidence in who they are. I specialize in supporting teens navigating anger, anxiety, and substance use challenges, and I strive to create a space where they feel seen, safe, and supported.

I believe that families are at the heart of a child’s healing, and I partner closely with parents and caregivers to encourage lasting growth. Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, school stress, or life transitions, I’m here to help you both take the next step forward—with compassion, connection, and care.

Our Approach

As both a professional counselor and educator, I understand the unique challenges children, teens, and families face at home, at school, and in everyday life.

Counseling is not about "fixing" a child. It's about helping them understand their emotions, build confidence, develop coping skills, and discover their strengths.

Together, we'll create practical strategies that support growth, emotional wellness, and success both inside and outside of the counseling space.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is progress that feels meaningful in everyday life.
