Testimonials

Valerie Smith is an extremely talented clinician. Not only is she credentialed and learned in her modalities, she has compassion and empathy for her clients. She listens and validates and also challenges. Valerie was the first person to actually help me to understand borderline personality disorder in a way that was never described to me before. It was because of her analogy that I was able to incorporate that into working with my trauma clients diagnosed with BPD. I would recommend her to anyone who is ready to start their healing process!

Valerie's warm and non-judgmental approach makes her a standout therapist. She has helped me so much with my depression.

Valerie Smith is incredibly empathetic and insightful. My teenage daughter went through several therapists, but none of them seemed to click with her... until Valerie! My daughter has made so much progress with Val.

Valerie is a great therapist. She's compassionate and really takes the time to listen and understand her patients. I honestly feel lucky to have found her. Highly recommend Valerie if you're in need of therapeutic support!

Valerie is an excellent therapist. I became very ill with a rare condition ten years ago and lost my wife, my job, and my whole life. Everything went down the drain. I needed a therapist who would truly listen, not just not and give advice.

Valerie was a perfect fit. I had tried therapy before and after 4 years, made a connection with an old therapist. Then they transferred out of service. I reluctantly had to look for a new therapist, and took up Valerie after finding out about her services through a friend.

Amazing! Valerie is truly empathetic. She has taught me how to deal with trauma I didn't know I have... much of it going back to before I became sick. She gently introduced me to the fact that I have grown depressed and that I showed signs of it long before I comprehended it.

Along with healing from my trauma she has taught me how to appreciate my life for what it is through meditation, thankfulness, and -mindfulness! I didn't know what mindfulness was and excused it as new age hippie junk until I started applying it... wow!

Valerie understands the importance of modern medicine but she also supplements it with animal therapy and nature bathing. I have started gardening, jogging in the woods, and appreciating the world outside of my crummy apartment. I even adopted a cat after she recommended finding something to love and care for.

Excellent therapist. Well-rounded, intelligent, and caring. Five of out of five. Try her out and do tell friends/family about Valerie's services.
