About Valerie Farrell

Valerie A. Farrell
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, CCTPII, CASAC-A, RMT

Life is a chain of events with unexpected turns and directional missteps. Therapy is the beginning of one’s awareness, healing, and redirection. I focus on guiding individuals and families, as they navigate life’s challenges, understanding intergenerational and complex developmental trauma and its impact on one’s lifespan. I weave the therapeutic journey to each person’s unique needs, drawing on somatic, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, energy-based, and motivational interviewing techniques. My experience spans over twenty-eight years assisting individuals in setting a course of action and building emotional resilience. My specialized care addresses substance use, anxiety. depression, trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), death and dying, grief and loss, family/relational discord, chronic health conditions, and spiritual direction. My commitment is to facilitate transformative change, empowerment, and holistic well-being. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am honored to be a part of your journey!
