My Story

Hi!  My name is Michelle Vallario, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist based in Bergen County, New Jersey.  After many years practicing social work in the acute care setting, followed by several years as part of a local group psychotherapy practice, I opened MIND Your Health Psychotherapy in March of 2018.  What makes my practice unique is my personal experience in therapy. In fact, my experience as a patient is what inspired me to pursue a career in social work and, ultimately, as a private practitioner.  My own personal experience helps me to relate to my patients and offer them a unique perspective to help guide their treatment.  Additionally, my education and background in social work and 18 years in practice allow me to offer evidence-based treatment to help my patients feel more in control and less afraid of what they are feeling.  

 

At MIND Your Health I am here to guide you through life’s most complex and difficult matters. I truly care about my patients’ well-being and guarantee top of the line counseling catered to their needs.

 

Since 2008 I have provided a variety of therapeutic services in a variety of settings to those dealing with challenging life experiences.  Over the years I have come to specialize in treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, post-partum issues, major life transitions, grief counselling, and body image issues; however, my skills are not limited to these specialties.

​

At MIND Your Health Psychotherapy I treat a wide range of patients, including adolescents, teenagers and adults.

 

Patient well-being is my number one priority, and I go above and beyond to help them through all their obstacles. Please contact me for more information.
