My name is Valerie Ziel; I am a licensed clinical social worker. My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic, adapting to the unique needs of each patient. I have provided psychotherapy services to a diverse population who present with anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, codependency, relationship, work, and life transition challenges, as well as childhood abuse and women's issues. I work with adult clients who present with anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, codependency, relationship, work, and life transition challenges, as well as childhood abuse and women's issues.

Our journey through life can often bring about challenges which can impact our mental wellness. It is in these moments that we learn the most about ourselves, and identify potential learning experiences that can promote personal growth. My goal as your therapist is to embark on this journey with you, establish a healthy psychotherapeutic working relationship, and create a safe environment to assist with meeting your personal goals out of therapy. I have extensive experience treating trauma, depression, mood disorders, phase of life transitions and complications, grief, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and general mental health.

Our clinical areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, martial issues, codependency, self-esteem, women’s issues, substance abuse, harm reduction, grief, and transitional concerns. Through evidenced based approaches, we aim to tailor our treatment approach specific to the needs of each individual. We believe in helping individuals build on their strengths, gain insight, and develop effective coping skills.

I offer an authentic therapeutic style that is compassionate, empathic, supportive, and provide individualized approaches to counseling that is collaborative, personalized, and nonjudgmental where you can feel safe to explore and gain deeper insight into your emotions, experiences, feelings, thoughts, and relationships. I blend elements of cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic therapy, strengths-based, and mindfulness strategies to best serve you and your unique interests, needs, and goals as you embark on your therapeutic journey to improving your overall wellbeing.

Ray DiStephan, LCSW. I have been working with teens and their families for the past 28 years. I have an in-depth understanding of public education and special education. I also work with adults and focus on building a personal rapport with every individual that I work with. Together we look for and find some strategies and a few answers. Generally, yes. But each individual is different, and his/her/their reason for being in counseling can greatly vary. Goals are an important piece, but only after some trust is established.

Hi there, are you curious and looking for answers? Feeling a bit stuck? You’re in the right place and it’s the first step on this journey. I'm here to help you talk about it and as a guide to have a better experience. I adopt a highly client-centered approach, collaboratively delve into your specific issues and explore impactful strategies that work for you to see positive changes. Together, we embark on a journey of self-exploration in pursuit of fostering transformation. Whether you feel adrift of your envisioned life, disconnected from a partner, or stuck in a rut, I'd like to help guide you and facilitate meaningful change.

Do you ever feel irrelevant or disconnected from others you care about? Do you feel overwhelmed with too much to do, or not involved enough with things you enjoy doing? Do you ever feel isolated or empty? Do you stay in relationships too long or not long enough? Do you have difficulty asking for what you want or what you need? Do you ever feel like you are constantly getting more than you are getting? Do you want to make some changes but feel stuck? "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced". James Baldwin

Are you feeling tired, lost, and unsure about decisions? Have you encountered thoughts of helplessness? Are you ready to reclaim your purpose and take back control of your life? Navigating challenges are not meant to be alone, working in collaboration can get you one step closer to reaching positive well-being. Are you and your partner facing conflicts? If facing strains in intimacy, communication and understanding, a change in perspective and an effort in restoration can lead to healthy replenishment.

With an interactive, warm, and accepting approach I have been helping clients find healthy perceptions of themselves. No single approach is the right one for everyone, and so I have been trained in a range of modalities including motivational interviewing, CBT, and REBT.

If you are finding yourself struggling often with your sense of self, traumatic experiences or interpersonal challenges, I would absolutely love to help you through my approach; I provoke deep insight in my clients through an empathetic multidisciplinary approach in order for them to gain a deeper understanding of themselves so we can cultivate healthy approaches and solutions to their challenges.

I offer individual and group therapy. My scope of practice has been focused around young adult men and women ages 20-35 and with Veterans of all ages. My main goal for treatment is to help you identify the way you have developed from core beliefs of yourself, others, and the world. We are all so much a part of our own norm that often, it is hard to identify unhelpful or maladaptive patterns and behaviors. I will help you identify whats sitting in your core and how we can focus on developing the positive; or restructuring the parts that no longer serve your journey.
