I am an independent licensed therapist who offers a warm, inviting, and safe environment to process emotions. I have a master's degree in Master's of Science: Mental Health Counseling, I work with individuals who experience trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.
My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.
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.
Many challenges we carry stem not only from our own experiences, but from trauma and patterns passed down through generations. I specialize in generational and relational healing, supporting individuals and parents who feel stuck in cycles they want to change. Together, we explore how early attachment experiences and relational trauma live in your body, emotions, and nervous system, shaping your connections today. Therapy is collaborative and exploratory, creating space for insight, resilience, and meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Gilbert, AZ
Finding couples therapists in Gilbert starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship counseling can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have the same training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list specific couples approaches, such as the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy, in their bios.
In a mid-size city like Gilbert, the right match may come down to both fit and logistics. You may want a therapist with an office near home or work, while virtual sessions can make it easier to coordinate care across two schedules. As you compare options for marriage counseling in Gilbert, AZ, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a brief initial consultation is offered. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and how they describe working with both partners.
Couples therapy in Gilbert can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check your coverage before you book. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and compare therapists who offer couples counseling in Gilbert, AZ. From there, you can review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
