About me.
Hi, my name is Valerie Mustonen and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been practicing since 1996. I worked in an In-patient adolescent psychiatric unit for several years then switched to outpatient treatment doing individual and family therapy. Afterwards, I transitioned to medical social work and worked in many different areas of OHSU including emergency medicine, mother/baby unit, and women’s health. Recently, I have been seeing clients in my private practice mostly doing telehealth visits.
My primary areas of clinical practice include working with families, couples and individuals. My focuses are on depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, relationship struggles, self-esteem and women’s issues. My specialty is with behavioral and cognitive modifications in order to help you heal and thrive. I will provide you with a safe space to work through your issues and receive help in making positive life changes.
