Valerie Puffenberger, NP — Psychiatrist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Valerie!

I am passionate about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services. Areas of specialty include depression, anxiety, bipolar, substance use, and dual diagnosis.

My focus

I specialize in depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance use, and dual diagnosis. I create a compassionate space where you can explore challenges and work toward meaningful change.

My approach

I follow evidence-based guidelines blended with clinical experience, personal observation, and intuition. My role is multifaceted, providing education, therapy, and being a mental health advocate.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as including active listening, nonverbal communication, and reflecting.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about mental health to help reduce the stigma that surrounds it, to allow people to seek assistance when they need it. I find working in mental health to be fulfilling, to help others live their lives better.

My goals for you

We start slow by discussing what you'd like to achieve. We set small, realistic steps that are likely to be achieved. Together, we create specific and measurable goals that are relevant and attainable.

Our first session

The first session would consist of gathering information and understanding your current situation to create a treatment plan.
