Joana Valente

Hi!

My name is Joana Valente and I’m the founder of Mind Raising Therapy.
I help children, adolescents and parents that are desperate to manage overwhelming emotions and behavior.
I am passionate about children’s mental health, and one of my greatest joys is to help children becoming resilient and developing the coping skills to manage big emotions.
I love to collaborate with caregivers and giving them extra tools for their parenting journey.
I  also enjoy trainings that allow me to expand my knowledge and better serve my clients.
Outside of the office I enjoy spending time with my 3 children, traveling, reading books, dancing around in my kitchen while attempting  and failing a new recipe.
