Mental Wellness for Women Who Lead, Support, and Show Up

every day

No one is exempt from facing anxiety, depression, or trauma. Yet for women who constantly lead, support, and show up for others, the weight of those challenges can feel especially heavy — often leaving little space to care for themselves.

A Life Beyond Anxiety Is Possible

And you don’t have to walk that journey alone.

Anxiety, depression, and trauma affect women across all walks of life, but how they’re experienced and treated often varies. Many professional women carry chronic stress without realizing the toll it’s taking, especially those navigating high expectations, identity-related pressures, or underrepresented spaces in leadership.


You deserve care that honors the complexity of your experiences, not just your coping. Whether you’re juggling career demands, caregiving roles, emotion

At Valerie Carmel Therapy

You’ll receive evidence-based, culturally aware support designed to help you restore balance, deepen self-awareness, and sustain your growth — on your terms.

High-Achieving. Highly Stressed.

Nearly half of professional women report higher stress levels today than just a year ago — with symptoms ranging from chronic anxiety and emotional fatigue to disengagement and reduced performance.

 

For women of color, the stakes are even higher, with added pressures such as workplace bias, code-switching, and the invisible labor of “being the only one” in the room. Despite their accomplishments, many women silently endure out of fear that asking for help might be seen as weakness, or that slowing down will threaten everything they’ve worked for.

Why Valerie Carmel Therapy

Valerie Carmel Therapy was created to change this truth. 

We provide a compassionate, culturally aware space where professional women can:

  • Tend to their emotional well-being without judgment.
  • Process high-functioning stress that others might not even notice.
  • Develop practical, sustainable strategies for success that don’t require sacrifice.
Therapy here is not a pause in your progress, it’s the foundation that makes your success sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions

While I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents, at this time, I my practice will solely focus on working with adults.  My primary objective is working with Black women and women of color, which includes African American, Hispanic, and those of Caribbean descent. 

My areas of expertise include anxiety, trauma, chronic medical issues, work/life stress as well as life transitions, entrepreneurship, or post-graduation. 

Clients with a history of psychosis, eating disorders, substance abuse/alcohol dependence, and/or those who have been hospitalized in an inpatient psychiatric unit within the past 12 months would not be a good fit as these are not my areas of specialization and/or likely don’t meet criteria for teletherapy.

I can provide documentation (known as a Superbill) you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement if you choose. Another option is the self-pay rate with pre-paid therapy packages available for 6, 8 or 12 sessions. 

I  am currently only providing virtual therapy sessions and you must be located in either Florida or Nevada to access services.

If you are insured and want to confirm I am in-network, please contact my administrative office via email at billing@growtherapy.com.  

 

My self-pay rate for a 55-min video session is $125.  

 

Pre-paid therapy packages are available and as follows:

6 sessions ($115/per session) = $720 (savings of $60)

8 sessions ($100/per session) = $800 (savings of $200)

10 sessions ($95/per session) = $950  (savings of $300)

 

Open Path members’ sessions are within the agreed upon sliding scale of $30-$60. 

 If you would like to learn more about Open Path, please click here (link to be added: https://openpathcollective.org/) to learn more. 




Sessions begin on a weekly schedule and as you progress, we agree on adjusting the frequency to bi-weekly or monthly sessions.    

I host quarterly workshops on a variety of topics about boundary setting, self-care, anxiety and more that anyone can attend virtually. Have an idea for a workshop?
