Isabelle Valeus

My communication style

My style is direct, supportive, and empathetic. The therapeutic relationship is essential in healing, so it's crucial you feel free to express yourself genuinely.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began providing counseling to individuals in the justice system. I felt compelled to continue on this journey when I noticed how just being present in someone's time of need has been instrumental in their growth. I later pursued a doctorate in social work because I wanted to expand and sharpen my skills to have a greater impact on my clients.

My goals for you

After getting to know you and understanding your challenges, I hear about your personal goals and we set goals together. This process is ongoing and allows room for adapting as needed.

Our first session

Our first session focuses on getting to know you, discussing the history of the problem you're experiencing, and how you envision moving forward. I invite you to ask questions to ensure you feel comfortable, so we can both be certain this will be a good match.
