I am a Mental Health Clinician licensed in Florida. I bring my specialized programs to encourage personal autonomy, resilience, personal growth and self-leadership. For over 12 years, my specializations include addressing personal and professional growth, fostering self-leadership and post traumatic growth and resolution from complex trauma, early childhood development trauma and recovery that includes eating disorders, addiction, co-occurring disorders (trauma, process addictions and eating disorders). My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I believe in an integrative approach. My approach is built around establishing a mindset of self-leadership, resilience and aligning with the soul-self energy. The integrative approach tailors our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique needs so that you can heal, transform and connect to yourself as leader. Modalities include: Transpersonal and Somatic Psychology, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-TF, Internal Family Systems Model, Satir Model, Play Therapy: AutPlay, Somatic and Eco Play Therapy, Interpersonal Neurobiology Perspective and Human-Animal Interconnectedness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is the best therapist I've ever had and I have had many therapists. She has helped me reshape how I view things, therefore reshaping my life. I'm forever grateful!
Very grateful to Dr. Valentino-Bottaro. I am making significant progress with the issues I am dealing with. Excellent therapist. Thankful to BetterHelp for connecting me to the right therapist for my needs.
I don't care to write one but I want you to know that she's great and this appears to be the only way I can submit feedback.
It's so nice to have someone who can work with you mentally and spiritually. Too often I felt lost and she guided me, with humor and joy, through the turns. I am very thankful that we met, and am getting better at navigating the turns on my own.
Dr Valentino knows how to listen and identify the best way to be able to help. It has been a pleasure working with her !
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is able to identify the problem I am facing and help me sort my thoughts, see the problem in a different way so I can cope and resolve the problem from the traumatic experience I have. I am making significant progress resolving my problem. I also love BetterHelp. I’ve done therapy before but it was such a challenge taking time off work to go to the appointment. I love how I can schedule an appointment and talk over FaceTime in the privacy of my own home when I work remotely. BetterHelp helped me find the best therapist. Dr. Valentino-Bottaro gets it and grateful for her help.
Great therapist. Great plan for me
Excellent and extremely effective therapist. She has helped me tremendously in a short amount of time.

Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is the best therapist I have ever had. She LISTENS, she SHOWS up for me when I need her to, and she gives me the tools and guidance I need in any situation. She’s kind, thoughtful, relatable, and an absolute joy to talk to. It’s very easy for me to let my guard down around her. I would recommend anyone that I know to engage with her. 10/10.

I love Dr. Valentino-Bottaro. She just gets it. She has observed things in myself and helped me make connections in thinking that have saved me so much energy. I have seen several therapists in the past and she is the best one by far.
Dr: Valentino Bottaro is an amazing therapist. She understands me and listens to me and does not judge me nor ignore my concerns or worries no matter how small the situation. I am extremely happy I found her, after going through so many therapists that did not meet my needs I finally found one who is wonderful and a great person. I highly recommend Dr. Valentino Bottaro she is the best!
Jenenne is the most wonderful, warm, kind, and caring therapist that I have met. She integrates so many different modalities, is so welcoming and understanding making it a safe space to process painful things. She is so knowledgeable about evidence based interventions and also about alternative therapies. I was shy to share but she helped me connect through sandplay and her therapy pets which helped me open up and explore painful experiences I had. I am so grateful to have met her. Thank you Jennene for being such a wonderful person and therapist.
Dr. Valentino-Bottaro is one of the kindest, most caring therapists I have ever had! I started seeing her during a time I'd hit rock bottom and she was so quick to find practices and activities to get me back on track immediately. It's still early on in my treatment plan but I feel so confident and happy to have her help and support!
I've participated I'm therapy before, but never have I had the success as I've had with Dr. Valentino-Bottaro. My mental health has improved immensely and I've grown so much in just a few months. I appreciate her so much, and would highly recommend her.
