Valerie Taber

My communication style

I aim to create an environment of compassion and kindness. I strongly believe we can't hate ourselves into a version we love, and that shaming and harsh criticism have no place in the therapy room. I welcome feedback and want to create a therapy experience that works for you and your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became interested in therapy work after working in the childcare field and seeing how big a difference early intervention makes in our lives. I also find that we can all use a little more self-compassion in our lives and want to be a part of making that happen.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach! I may have ideas about what goals to set but they are strongly influenced by the issues you feel are important.

Our first session

A first session is typically about seeing whether we are a good fit and getting background history on your life and the issues you're most concerned about. I strongly encourage clients to ask questions and give feedback so we can work together on creating an experience that is most helpful for you and/or your family.
