Valerie Tober, Pre-Licensed Professional, EdS, MS

Currently accepting new clients ages 10 and up. Driven by curiosity, I want to partner with you as you explore what you most desire in your life and any obstacles that might be getting in the way of realizing those desires. From attachments, Adverse Childhood Events (ACEs), the wide expanse of grief and loss, parenting, caregiving, and the challenges of daily living, I offer a safe place to explore how your perception impacts your view of self and world.

My approach is person-centered, drawing from a diverse foundation in Somatic Experiencing, which differs from traditional talk therapy. How does what you carry from the past influence the here and now? The modalities I use help clients reconnect with their authentic selves and rediscover themselves prior to trauma.

While I am just getting started as a counselor, I am a seasoned professional with experiences across person-centered fields, including higher education, residential treatment for high-risk youth, direct care management, those experincing grief and loss, and the LGBTQ+ community.
