Valerie Larson-Howard
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
In our “good vibes only” world, I provide a space to explore all the vibes, not just the good ones.
For over 20 years, I have provided therapy to hundreds of clients from all walks of life. I never get tired of connecting with people and I am looking forward to meeting with you. Our work together will be based on your individual needs. However, I will also be encouraging you to have difficult conversations, face hard decisions, and sit with uncomfortable emotions. This can be a scary process, but I know in the end, you’ll not only be okay, you’ll be better.
