Counseling services focus on helping families and individuals build skills that increase health behaviors and foster resiliency. Symptoms and challenges are addressed using a CBT, DBT, Adlerian, and/or a client centered ‘strengths and solutions’ based approach. Emphasis in sessions include gaining awareness of negative self-talk and habits, learning tools to change behaviors, and rewriting new scripts that illuminate strengths, acceptance, and self-discipline. Sand Tray techniques and Play Therapy are additional approaches to help clients process emotions and progress in their goals.

Hi, I'm Valerie and want to congratulate you for taking a step that can change your life. A lot of people think about going to therapy for years. But often put it off. Then usually something dramatic happens, and you realize if I don't start therapy now I may fall into a dark hole, and you're afraid you won't get out of it. I have worked with many clients who have felt that way, and later said "I wish I started therapy years ago. It really works, and I love having you as my therapist; you really get it.

That voice telling you it’s time for a change is not always loud, but it is persistent! My name is Laura Walsh and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 30 years of experience helping people create a better life through personal and transformative change. Traditionally, I have maintained a focus on anxiety and mood disorders, relational and familial instability, self-esteem, and substance abuse issues. Through the years, I've found that many seeking help with these problems are actually dealing with the emotional fall out of unresolved trauma - leading to my focus and specialization in the successful resolution of PTSD.

Shame, anger, resentment and overwhelm. Feeling unsupported, misunderstood and feared. "I feel less than. Noone can understand the pressures and fears that I have living life as a Black man. I feel like death is going to find me no matter how good I am. No matter what I do." Death and loss are so very familiar to you. Your mind is teasing you. Your chest gets so tight and your heart beats hard and fast that that you think that you will die. Is this you? Maybe it's your son. Suspensions. Special ed classes. Providing medications without considering other alternatives. It's as if someone has declared war on you and those like you.

I am a firm believer that the greatest experiences and our most difficult moments include other people. Relationships with others are not always easy to navigate. Experiences we have with other people can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves and the world around us. I love to support people exploring their relationship with themselves and how that can have a positive impact on our relationship with others. I have knowledge and experience working with individuals and couples who have experienced trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, parenting, postpartum and identity issues.

“I know that it can be hard to be in a relationship with me.” “I’m too much.” “I can’t depend on anyone but myself.” “I just rather be alone than be with someone and be unhappy.” Each of these statements suggest that you’re living life in a state of fear. When you feel unsafe, you are looking for the danger in situations. You trust no one. You are constantly in the mode of defending, running away, people pleasing or in analysis paralysis (procrastination). As a result of your responses to your fears, each of your relationships suffer. Wouldn’t it be GLORIOUS to trust your spirit of discernment, kill your fears and feel safe?

Did you grow up without a consistent and healthy relationship with your parents due to their substance abuse, mental health issues, or verbal and/or physical abuse? Do you struggle with feelings of abandonment, rejection, worthlessness, inadequacy, and low self-esteem? I want to work with you to develop a positive sense of self and to heal from the past traumas associated with your parental and family unit. Life does not warn you about the adverse effects of having a parent that struggles with substance abuse or mental illness which can leave you to sort out the byproducts of your trauma. I have experienced this exact pain.

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson “It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.” It is when we are faced with our greatest fears when we are in need of someone who we can trust to hear those fears and assist us with equipping ourselves with life skills/tools to overcome and conquer them. I have over 25 years of clinical experience assisting others on how to achieve their best life. It is my belief solutions to our problems are within us.

Life can be difficult, and it can be very scary to admit you’re not doing well. But getting help doesn’t have to be intimidating. My goal is to support children, adults, and families in helping them figure out how to sort through their trauma and build a more fulfilling life. The people I see range from middle schoolers struggling with trauma to adults struggling to figure out their next step in life. Whatever the difficulty, I'll work with you as a team to create long-lasting change.

We all know there are things in life we can’t control, but where we do have some control is in our responses to those things - even if it feels like we don't. Many times we just don't know how. My clients have trauma-related issues that have caused them ongoing problems. Traumas may be from childhood or from events experienced as an adult. Unresolved trauma masks itself in a variety of troubling ways. You may feel anxious, depressed, emotionally detached, or easily overwhelmed. You may even question whether or not what you've experienced is "trauma".
