About Karena Valkyrie

Hi, I am KT. I have over 20 years of university teaching and licensed professional counselor experience collaborating with individuals, couples, and families who may be experiencing challenges, to name a few: anxiety, stress, relationship/communication issues, anger management, resiliency, survivors of trauma and abuse, self-development challenges, aging, or existential issues. I see myself as a member of your growth team. I believe we all can grow, improve, and celebrate our lives if we are willing to do some work. Flexibility is important. We will set goals and revise them as needed, utilizing science-based treatment strategies as we work to help you. There is no cookie-cutter answer. You should gain coping skills and strategies to help your growth. I collaborate with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared safely without fear of shame or judgment. I am an LGBTQ+ ally, respectful of spirituality, diversity, and culture. I describe myself as a lifelong learner who is caring, sensitive, and empathic, and I am in awe of people's courage and hope. It is difficult to reach out and talk with a stranger, but it is worth the effort. Take good care.
