Valerie Williamson

Valerie Williamson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 4.2 mi away • Colorado


I’m Valerie, a therapist based in Denver, CO. I work with children (ages 4+), teens, and adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, and identity exploration. I earned my Master’s in Social Work in 2023 and have experience in both agency and private practice settings.

I also live with ADHD myself, which means I don’t just talk theory—I understand firsthand the challenges of focus, overwhelm, and motivation. Clients tell me that makes me feel more real and relatable, and I feel that is an important part of the therapeutic alliance.

John Spear

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 1.3 mi away • Colorado


I work to meet clients wherever they are at emotionally and identify their goals so that we can work together to create the best life possible for them. I have experience working with all ages and walks of life, from first responders and caretakers to teenagers and families. I come from a family of helpers and have a deep understanding of how traumatic experiences can destabilize people's well-being. I am here to work as a guide, not a teacher, and believe that all healing is done by the patient. I seek to empower my patients and show them their inner strength that was there all along.

I believe that humans should ideally be unfolding and growing throughout their lifetime. This means embracing change, especially when life gets difficult and we feel stuck, dissatisfied, or overwhelmed. Change is a journey with ups and downs. Personally, I believe we all struggle with challenges at different times in our life and it's the courageous who seek help.

Therapist

Virtual • Colorado


I’m a Doctor of Behavioral Health, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Clinical Hypnotherapist with advanced training in integrative, mind-body approaches to healing. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, panic attacks and OCD. I also work with people who are experiencing depression, trauma, chronic stress, and difficulty navigating life transitions.

My clients are often looking for more than symptom relief — they want to gain a deeper understanding of themselves, reconnect with their inner strength, and create meaningful, lasting change. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide spectrum of people: from Veterans to homeless and individuals facing severe mental health challenges, to highly successful clients navigating the unique pressures of wealth, relationships, and career demands.

No matter their background or circumstances, what unites my clients is a shared desire for healing, clarity, and growth — and a commitment to creating a more fulfilling life. I meet each person with the same compassion, warmth, and nonjudgmental presence, honoring their unique story while walking alongside them on their path toward wholeness.

Regardless of your history, you are important to me. At our core, I believe we all long to be heard, validated, accepted, and healed — and it is an honor when your journey crosses with mine. For those who wish, I also welcome the integration of spirituality into our work, creating space for deeper meaning, connection, and transformation as part of the healing process.

I believe it takes immense courage to open yourself up to the process of therapy - to go against the taboo and actually talk about yourself, your pain, and your shame. I will be your supportive guide through this process, helping you use what you learn to change the patterns that hold you back and close the gap between who you are and who you want to be.


About me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and received my master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University.
