Valerie Davis

My communication style

I will consistently be open and kind. I will do my best to understand who you are and how I can help you face the challenges you're up against. I like to let you take the lead during sessions, with your thoughts, feelings, and experiences driving the session, while I add in perspective, insight, and ideas where I can.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired to work in mental healthcare after receiving therapy for depression and trauma. It was life-changing. I realized that being there for someone in their moment of need and offering them ideas for a way out of their current situation is the most important thing you can do for a person.

My goals for you

I want you to find the little tricks, skills, and strategies to help improve your life and your relationships. Once you find the right combination of communication skills, coping strategies, processing tools, social supports, routines, and life goals that make you feel like all the puzzle pieces of your ideal life are coming together.

Our first session

After our initial intake session, I focus my energy on getting to know and understand you at the core of who you are. We'll explore your background and life circumstances, and we'll also discuss any recent events, difficult feelings, recurring thoughts, or issues that arise. We'll figure out how we can make things better.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
