Consultation
“I am loving the option of co-journaling with Valerie in between sessions. It is a great source to track my healing progress, and still be able to continue our work together in between sessions. It has made such a huge difference in my journey and is a grounding / empowering tool. I have found it to be so much more helpful than the traditional session with no contact in between.”
~Current Consultation Client
Are you going through a transition such as a relationship ending, a career shift, or a loss? Have you found that you are looking for support that doesn’t focus on a diagnosis or insurance? Maybe you’ve felt like you’ve tried therapy, but found it’s diagnostic approach doesn’t quite fit what you are looking for? Perhaps you are wanting to explore more deeply old patterns and themes, to better understand your relationships, to change some of your relationship patterns with some process work between sessions.
"I couldn't be happier that we managed to reconcile! Thanks for all the help in getting us to a good place."
~Consultation Client on their experience 1 year later
Maybe you are someone whose lifestyle doesn’t align with the psychotherapy model because you travel for work or have a lifestyle that does not keep you rooted in one place.
If any of these experiences resonate with you, one of my consultation packages may be a great fit for your self-discovery journey.
Most of my consultation clients are folks who travel around the U.S. or live and travel abroad. This model allows clients to continue their own introspection wherever they are. Having access to an individually curated Google Folder that includes a shared journal, various readings, podcasts, and other suggestions that are tailored to their goals and interests provides opportunities for greater insight, thought provoking questions, and feedback between sessions.

Therapy
What is it? Why do I feel anxious with even the idea of pursuing therapy?
These are complicated and important questions. Therapy is an unusual experience…You call a stranger, you decide whether or not to meet this stranger in their office, and the person asks you questions about your life that evoke the uncomfortable feelings you are wishing you didn’t feel. And feeling these feelings is often the reason people consider therapy: They want to feel different.
There are risks to therapy; mainly, feeling discomfort and the unknown of how feeling all these feelings in this process may actually support you. While I don’t know the outcome of your therapy process, I hope you will develop a greater capacity for tolerating difficult feelings, become a better communicator about your needs in relationships, feel more connected in your relationship to self and with others, and achieve whatever personal goals you may have in mind.
If you have the time and interest, you have the option to choose a few therapists that appear to be a match and inquire about a possible “Meet & Greet.” The intent of these brief meetings is to give you the opportunity to experience the office space and get a sense of the therapist’s demeanor while evaluating your comfort level. Please know, you don’t have to settle for the first therapist you meet.
As a certified Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F), I am able to also offer yoga as a movement intervention for complex trauma. If you’d like to learn more about TCTSY, feel free to click on the “TCTSY” icon on the top right of this page.
