Two personal virtues I value greatly are learning and curiosity. I will bring these two attitudes to the therapy room and with you to ensure that we develop concepts and theory that fits your experiences. I am currently completing my PhD in Counselor Education with my dissertation focusing on neuroscience-informed treatment. Our internal signals are as powerful as our external reactions. Together, we can use these techniques to quantify treatment!
I’m Valerie, a therapist based in Denver, CO. I work with children (ages 4+), teens, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2023 and have experience in both agency and private practice settings.
I also live with ADHD myself, which means I don’t just talk theory—I understand firsthand the challenges of focus, overwhelm, and motivation. Clients tell me that makes me feel more real and relatable, and I feel that is an important part of the therapeutic alliance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Thornton, CO
Searching for therapists in Thornton starts with finding the right fit for the kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, and trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Thornton is a smaller city, so local in-person options may be more limited depending on your schedule, neighborhood, and preferences. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Colorado while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what a first session may include.
Therapy in Thornton can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before booking. You can browse therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
