For providers looking to deepen their clinical practice.

Valerie has had a profound impact on my professional growth and development. She put her heart and soul into creating MI and CBT trainings for our team that were creative, engaging, and incredibly effective in supporting our learning and competency. She went above and beyond to provide us with ongoing learning opportunities, offering one-on-one training whenever needed and providing detailed feedback with compassion and warmth; her commitment to our growth was palpable. Valerie led by example by embodying the very spirit that she taught us to use with our own clients — empathy, collaboration, and unwavering support. She is one of the most effective teachers I have ever had, and I would not have the clinical skill set I have today if not for her strong leadership and innovation.

Valerie is an exceptional teacher. She trained me in Motivational Interviewing when I was a mental health coach, and it has proven to be the most valuable skill I've learned in my career. I used it not only to guide clients through our CBT program but also to motivate and develop my team when I became a people manager. Even now, as a tutor, I still think of her teachings, because once Motivational Interviewing "clicks," as Valerie would say, it becomes almost second nature. Valerie is caring, dedicated, and incredibly knowledgeable, and I would gladly work with her again.
