Dr. Valente is currently an Assistant Professor at UCSF in the Department of Pediatrics and The Children’s Center at Langley Porter, Department of Psychiatry.
She is the Clinical Program Coordinator of the joint UCSF-LPPI Eating Disorders Program, and the Consulting Psychologist at the Weight Assessment for Teen and Children Health (WATCH) Clinic, the pediatric obesity clinic. Dr. Valente obtained a BA in Psychology and Human Development and a PhD in Child Clinical Psychology at Vanderbilt University. She completed her pre-doctoral clinical internship at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. in Pediatric Psychology. Subsequently, Dr. Valente completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in Adolescent Health at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Valente’s central research interest is parents’ role in the socialization of healthy behaviors in children and adolescents, in both healthy and pediatric populations. The long-term objective of her research program is to improve children’s health in key areas of health risk through parent education. Dr. Valente is currently the Principal Investigator on the Child and Adolescent Asthma Management (CAAM) Project, a pilot project funded by the UCSF Resource Allocation Program to identify factors that promote the development of successful, ongoing asthma self-management in children and adolescents. She is also the Principal Investigator on a NICHD-funded grant to examine whether sociodemographic differences in parents’ socialization of children’s eating patterns predict differences in dietary habits and body mass index in young adulthood.
