Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm Valerie Wade, an LCSW with 35+ years of experience in clinical, psychiatric, medical, corporate, and private practice settings. I work with adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change. Whether you're navigating relationships, work stress, life transitions, or emotional challenges, I'll meet you where you are and help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

My approach to therapy

My therapy style is warm and interactive with a sprinkling of humor when appropriate. I value honesty and compassion. I employ personalized strategies and techniques. My approach is driven by a client-centered philosophy which integrates cognitive-behavioral, acceptance and commitment and solution-focused therapy.

What you can expect from me

You don't have to figure everything out alone. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling heard and understood. If you're ready for a change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you toward greater peace, clarity, and emotional well-being.
