With the right connection and support, you can experience change

Many people ask the question: "Should I go to counseling?" Often times we feel stressed, numb, irritable, sad, or overwhelmed; and we believe “that’s just life” or “it could be worse” so these are issues we just try to deal with. While all of this may be inevitable at some point in our lives, you do not have to feel alone.

About

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years of experience working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship/family issues. I view the client/therapist relationship as an equal one - you are the expert on you, I am here to help guide you, give you support, and lead you to your strengths. The process of finding the right therapist and getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to make this process as seamless as possible for you, from online scheduling and client portal access to complete all initial paperwork; your first appointment is only a few clicks away. Click the "Client Portal" button to schedule an appointment online as a new or existing client (new clients scroll down on the client portal page to "New client? Request Appointment" button; existing clients log into the portal with your email). If you have any questions feel free to call or text me at 315-515-4445; fill out the contact form below; or send me an email at valerie.lighthall@gmail.com.
