Getting to know Valene Gresham

Hi there, I'm Valene! My name is Dr. Valene Gresham, and I am a psychologist with a PsyD in Clinical and Forensic Psychology from Alliant International University. I also hold a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. I specialize in individual and couples therapy for clients ages 18 and up. My approach My most commonly used theoretical approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Brief Solutions Focused. My focus I specialize in anxiety and depression management, self-esteem and confidence building, life coaching, relationship issues, major life transitions, couples therapy, student support, and trauma across all ages. Additionally, I have several years of experience working with specialized groups such as police officers and government officials. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, holding positions in various hospitals, clinics, and government organizations both in the United States and abroad. My communication style I strive to create a non-judgmental environment where you can feel safe to express yourself while also pushing past the barriers that may be holding you back. My journey to therapy From age 16, I always knew I wanted to be a therapist. I was deeply drawn to the concept of the narratives we tell ourselves and those others have about us. Helping people learn to retell the stories of who they are by correcting negative beliefs about themselves is a big part of my life’s work, and I love it. My goals for you Goal setting is a collaborative endeavor. Therapist and client should regularly assess if goals remain achievable and adjust them along the journey. My first session with you First sessions can feel daunting. Some clients may feel guarded while others may feel comfortable sharing their entire life story. No matter which you might be, my hope is that you walk away from your first session feeling a little lighter and a bit more refreshed.
