Getting to know Valerie Barnes

Hello, and welcome. I’m glad you’re here. My name is Ms. Valerie Barnes, and I’m a licensed clinical social worker – e.g., therapist, counselor, licensed in Illinois, Washington, and Florida, with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, reconnect with their inner strength, and move toward healing and growth. I believe that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all process, and I strive to meet each person where they are with respect for their unique story, identity, and pace. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck in life or in Chicagoland traffic.
