Health Education

As a certified health educator by NCHEC Inc, I offer guidance to adopt various healthy habits and/or stick with a habit for a long run using social & behavioral theories/models as well as centering clients' strengths & identity. Val offers both individualized or group sessions for various target audiences such as people of color, immigrants, low-income moms, and teenagers. Session mode is mostly virtual - depending on various circumstances.
