As a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in EMDR, I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. Taking the first step toward help is often the hardest part—so I commend you for being here. I earned my Master’s degree from Arizona State University and have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate life’s most challenging moments. While I work with a range of clients, I’m especially passionate about supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and those facing anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices that empower lasting change.
I’m Kristen Vallely, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Arizona and in Colorado I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Arizona State University and also hold certifications in Sex informed therapy, EMDR, DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Solutions Focused and foundational family systems models.
In addition to traditional therapy models, I bring in a holistic and somatic lens—blending evidence-based techniques with intuitive awareness, especially for clients exploring trauma, relational healing, parenting, and alternative relationships such as polyamory.
One of the most important aspects of successful treatment is the relationship you create with your therapist. I offer a unique blend of compassion, humor, and sound clinical judgment to foster genuine connections with my patients.
