ABOUT DR. VAL

Experience matters.
So does connection.

I'm Dr. Valerie Andersen, a licensed psychologist with more than two decades of clinical experience, including leadership in complex behavioral health settings.
 

My work is warm, candid, and collaborative. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and help you examine what may be keeping you stuck. Therapy should feel personal—but also purposeful.

Comfortable. Private. Human.

Our work begins with getting to know your story and deciding together what would make therapy valuable for you. Sessions are intentionally individualized, with practical insight and attention to the whole person.

“I feel this. I know this. Therefore, I will do this.”

Bringing emotion and reason together to make wiser choices.
