I understand the therapeutic relationship can be a powerful catalyst for change. My ultimate goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment that will nurture the therapeutic alliance and allow the client to get what they need, where they are at.

It's my belief to "Keep life simple." Life is stressful enough. Balancing work, family, social life, friends, and relationships can be overwhelming at times. I practice from a harm reduction holistic theoretical orientation. It combines person-centered (respect for autonomy) with CBT/systemic therapy (a critical look at culture and attachments). By identifying wants and needs, I can assist clients with locating triggers and establishing healthy coping skills to alleviate any mental, emotional, or physical stress. I work particularly with parents and clients dealing with ADHD, Life choices, anxiety, self-esteem and accountability. I assist clients in adjusting to unexpected life transitions by constructing healthier boundaries with themselves and others to balance their lifestyles. I value the importance of creating a supportive, transparent, and collaborative relationship throughout the therapy process. I do this by providing a safe space for clients to embrace their vulnerabilities. Difficult experiences often show up in the body. Accessing embodied experience helps clients evolve. These shifts in the body have a corresponding effect on our actions, routines, and relationships. Through mindful awareness, we discover how the body holds our experiences. We learn to recognize habitual patterns and create new ones. The healing starts now...

I've worked with families and individuals for over 12 years. My practice focuses primarily on anxiety disorders, grief/loss, life transitions, ADHD and OCD and combinations of those disorders (ADHD +Anxiety or ADHD +OCD). I also treat Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Trichotillomania (and other BFRBs). You may not be sure of how to "label" your experiences in terms of a diagnosis, but I can help you if you are feeling overwhelmed, having intrusive or unwanted anxious or negative thoughts, worry, fear, self-doubt, perfectionism or are are struggling in school or in personal relationships. I weave Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Mindful Self-Compassion throughout all of my sessions because I find that these methods provide a strong foundation for change. From there I select evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ERP, Written Exposure Therapy, motivational interviewing and various forms of body-based and expressive therapy techniques (written and visual) to address specific issues. My clients appreciate that I am compassionate, have a good sense of humor and I am down to earth.

I'm so glad you're here! A little about me: I’ve been working in the mental health field since earning my Masters of Science in Social Work degree with a specialization in Alcohol and Drug Counseling from the University of Louisville in 2011. Over the years, I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting adults through challenges with mental health and substance use. Those experiences have given me the privilege of walking alongside people in some of the hardest and most transformative moments of their lives. I especially enjoy working with adults navigating life transitions, whether that’s beginning college, relationship challenges, big life changes like marriage or divorce, experiencing grief or loss, changing careers, experiencing family stress, or facing other big shifts. I have a special passion for supporting people with personality disorders, anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use challenges. I also offer a safe place for LGBTQ+ individuals. My background in crisis work means I’m comfortable meeting you exactly where you are, even if life feels overwhelming right now. My style is conversational, open, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy is a partnership. I’ll bring tools, strategies, and perspective, and you’ll bring your lived experience and goals. Together, we’ll work on building coping skills, practicing mindfulness, learning emotional regulation, and finding new ways of seeing and responding to life’s challenges. You've taken the first step. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to partner with you to create a plan that feels doable and supportive, so you can move toward the balance, healing, and growth you deserve. I appreciate the courage it takes to reach out for help, as living a balanced life requires intentionality and action. I would love to help you move forward from here!

My name is Valeria Slapak Brown, and I am a licensed clinical social worker. During therapy sessions I offer my clients the space and the time to explore, define and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships to others and to the world. Turning difficult feelings into words, helps making meaning of human experience. This is the best way to take control of strong emotions, instead of them controlling us. During these trying times, life demands can feel overwhelming. Talking to an experienced and caring therapist can bring some much needed relief. Please call me or email me for a free consultation.

I think one of the main issues people struggle with today is cultivating resiliency, and therefore my focus in therapy has always been toward empowerment and strengthening clients from a multi-systems approach. I believe positive mental health and a strong self-care routine are a valuable asset to individual growth, and that therapy isn't meant to just be a reactive form of treatment, but one that is a regular part of all our routines. My mission is: to help people identify and meet their individual goals while being empowered and supported; to promote positive self-image; to foster emotional, intellectual, and socio-cultural autonomy; to provide education on life skills, emotion regulation, and coping; and to explore change for a meaningful and fulfilled life. I have a multitude of experiences that has prepared me to assist a wide variety of ages and diverse populations. I am EMDR-trained, and can provide this form of treatment as needed. I would greatly welcome the opportunity to work with you on your journey and be your supportive guide throughout therapy and your life experience.
