Valerie Roth

My communication style

My passion is helping others grow and develop while creating a safe space for people to be authentic. I create a supportive environment and also challenge clients when they may be missing key issues that can be helpful to explore. Confidentiality and emotional safety are critical so that you can get the most from treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I saw that many people were raised in situations where they were invalidated and taught that their feelings were irrelevant. I wanted to help people work through the damage that occurs when acceptance and validation are missing. This led me to become a therapist and to support others in their journey to healing.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to understand what brought you to treatment and what you are looking to work on during our time together. Treatment goals will be defined by you although I will help you set goals and focus on the areas that are causing you distress. We will work collaboratively on what matters to you.

Our first session

In our first session, we will explore your history and discuss the issues that have brought you to seek services. I will ask a lot of questions initially because I care about who you are and want to understand you. Once I understand your concerns, we will talk about specific goals you would like to create for our work together.
