Todd Valentine, LCSW

For the past 22 years, Todd has worked primarily as a counselor and mentor to men struggling with the chronic and progressive disease of addiction. As a member of an interdisciplinary treatment team at a long-term, residential, gender-specific treatment center, he has been responsible for facilitating daily group and individual counseling sessions focused on recovery from substance use disorders, as well as the accompanying challenges of depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, guilt, grief, and loss that often fuel the cycle of addiction.

As a wounded healer on his own spiritual journey, Todd believes his strengths as a therapist come from a deep compassion and an understanding of each person’s capacity to heal when provided with therapeutic resources and genuine, unconditional acceptance, empathy, and tolerance.
