Valarie Smith

Are you looking to better understand yourself and your relationships? Are you curious about the patterns that keep showing up in your life? Do you want to learn how to better navigate life’s changes? Together, you and I can explore what therapy means to you, and how your past experiences shape who you are today. Your internal narratives - how you experience yourself and the world - are often supported by unconscious thoughts and emotions. This unconsciousness could be inadvertently keeping you stuck. As you bring your unconscious into awareness, new possibilities for choice and change become possible. Are you looking to better understand yourself and your relationships?

Your internal narratives - how you experience yourself and the world - are often supported by unconscious thoughts and emotions. This unconsciousness could be inadvertently keeping you stuck. As you bring your unconscious into awareness, new possibilities for choice and change become possible. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for therapy. I am a kind, genuine, and sometimes-offbeat person, and a responsible and ethical therapist. I honor the individuality of each person I work with and tailor the work to meet your unique needs and goals. Self-reflection and exploration can be scary, hard work at times, AND also super rewarding. I’m passionate about joining others on their journey of introspection and self-discovery. I invite you to lean into the unknown with curiosity, look with self-compassion, and take the next step in your personal growth and healing journey.
