Valerie St Germain

My name is Valerie St. Germain, and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I am passionate about supporting adults who have experienced trauma, utilizing motivational interviewing to instill hope and help them realize their capacity for change. I also enjoy working with young children facing behavioral challenges through Child-Centered Play Therapy.

In addition to trauma work, I have extensive experience collaborating with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and mood dysregulation. My preferred therapeutic methods for adults include EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and strength-based perspectives.

For me, working in mental health is a ministry dedicated to empowering individuals to become who God created them to be. I look forward to the possibility of walking alongside you on your journey.

I work collaboratively with my clients, respecting your role as the expert in your own life. My purpose is to guide, empower, and listen to your goals for this process.

I maintain an open-minded approach and utilize various techniques to meet your needs. Please feel free to let me know if a specific method is not working for you; honest feedback is essential for me to support your treatment effectively. I also incorporate humor into my sessions, as I believe laughter is a vital and evidence-based part of the healing process.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you in any way I can.

We will begin with an introductory session where you will have the opportunity to share your story and your reasons for seeking treatment. I strive to create a safe space that allows you to be vulnerable and share who you are without reservation. Together, we will establish your goals and work toward achieving them
