Valerie Goode, Psy.D.

Life is tough. We all suffer moments of loss, grief, anger, and depression. Most of the time these moments pass without incident, and talking with a friend is all the “therapy” we need. But sometimes a friend isn’t enough. Sometimes the moments linger and threaten to define our lives. It is times like these that we need professional help.

I can’t fix your life. I can’t make tough times go away. But I can help you change your life. I can guide you as you navigate the rough seas toward a safe harbor. And I can teach you valuable life–skills that will allow you to live the life you want rather than the life you were dealt.

The goal of psychotherapy is to learn how to live life with more grace, compassion, guts, and joy. Therapy is not a “last choice” for people who are ill, but a first choice for people who know that they can always be healthier.

Whatever you are struggling with: personal addictions, stress, anxiety, anger issues, family problems, etc. I can be of help. No two people are alike so I can’t lay out specifics here, but I would be happy to speak with you and explore together how I may be of help.
