Our Therapists & Specialties
A Team Dedicated to Growth, Healing, and Empowerment
At Valiant Minds Counseling, our therapists share a common mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that honors your unique story. We believe that therapy is more than problem-solving; it’s about rediscovering strength, nurturing self-understanding, and creating meaningful change that lasts.
Each of our clinicians brings specialized training, diverse experience, and a deep commitment to helping clients navigate ADHD, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with empathy and skill.
🌿 Our Specialties
ADHD & Executive Functioning
Support for focus, organization, and follow-through while reframing negative self-beliefs. We help clients understand their brain, build confidence, and use practical tools that foster resilience and self-compassion.
Anxiety & Depression
Therapy to calm the mind, restore balance, and rebuild trust in yourself. We teach mindfulness-based and cognitive tools that help you move through worry and emotional fatigue toward a greater sense of stability and hope.
Trauma & Grief Recovery
Healing through safety, connection, and understanding. Our trauma-informed approach helps you process painful experiences, reclaim your sense of self, and move forward with strength and clarity.
Couples & Relationship Counseling
We help couples and partners rebuild communication, deepen emotional connection, and navigate conflict with compassion and intention. Our relationship work is inclusive of all genders, sexualities, and cultural backgrounds.
