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.

Mercedes Becker

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 2.7 mi away • Colorado


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.
