Valerie Dunham Maxey , LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Down to earth and easy to talk to.

Something to know about my approach is:

My approach is flexible. Sessions are not limited to couch talking, we can walk, sit in the park, shoot hoops or do other things that help you feel relaxed and help you reach your therapy goals.

Together, we will:

Collaborate to figure out what you need and create a plan to help you get to your desired goals.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are diagnosed with and experience symptoms of serious mental illness. That includes thought disorders, like Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective, Delusional disorders, Bipolar, Depression, suicidal ideation/attempts, substance abuse/use and military PTSD.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer in-person therapy in the client's home or in the community where the client feels safe and comfortable.

More about me and my practice:

My experience comes from working in community mental health hospitals & the VA, where I worked in a residential rehab setting & with Veterans diagnosed with serious mental illness. No one way works for everyone & I understand that.
