With Dr. Daniela Graf, an experienced figure in child mental health, at the helm, the Clinic is positioned to provide competent care tailored to the needs of young patients.
Dr. Joseph Khoury, Co-founder of the Valens Clinic, stated, “The world today presents children with an intricate blend of societal and technological shifts. We need to address their mental well-being with a culturally relevant approach. This expansion is a step in that direction.”
Prioritizing evidence-based approaches, The Valens Clinic aims to offer children and their families reliable and updated care solutions.
