About Me

ABOUT

Hi, I’m Valery! 

Hi! I’m Valery, and Evergreen Counseling and Wellness is my private practice.  I live with my husband, children, and our beautiful dog right here in Evergreen, Colorado.  I grew up in south Texas (so you won’t catch me on the slopes),  but I love hiking and playing in the mountains. My husband and I met in Chicago, and we were thrilled when we got the chance about ten years ago to move to Colorado and raise our family. 

When I’m not at my office, you can probably catch me playing with my kids, hiking a trail, or sipping coffee under a warm blanket. (And, when no one’s looking, you can probably catch me playing Plants Vs Zombies, too).

I really believe in the
 Power of Therapy.

I’m a therapist because I know that therapy works.  Therapy changed my life, it helped my marriage, and it taught me how to be a better parent.  And, I know it can help you, too. 

I love working with couples because I get it. I’m a wife, a mom, a therapist, and a business owner, so I understand how hard it is to maintain a strong relationship while juggling real life.  I also understand how easy it is for couples to drift apart, and how overwhelming it feels when you’re not sure how to fix things.

I believe in doing therapy that works.

Compassionate, effective counseling can change your life, your relationships, and your marriage. But, it has to be the right kind of therapy - and the right kind of therapy for you. I promise to meet you where you’re at, whether you’re committed to making your marriage work or you’re on the fence about your future. I’m here to help.

I’ve been a therapist for almost 15 years, and I specialize in working with couples and relationships.

I know relationships are hard, and I won’t judge you if you and your partner are struggling.

I received my masters from the University of Chicago, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I also have the following specialized training:
