Getting to know Valerie Minnich

Hi there, I'm Valerie! I am Dr. Valerie Minnich, PhD in Psychology from Grand Canyon University, LPC(PA), NCC, CAADC, ACS. My clinical areas of practice are mental health and addictions. My approach To best serve clients, I use a strength-based, client-centered approach. I follow evidence-based practices to structure each session and incorporate appropriate interventions. I work with Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. With a background in medicine, I also assist clients with medication management from a mental health perspective. My focus I work with clients struggling with addiction, recovery, long-term sobriety, and mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. I also support clients navigating transitions and relationship challenges—whether intimate, social, or familial. My communication style The therapeutic environment I create is open and mutually respectful. I am here to support clients on their journey. My journey to mental healthcare I have been on both sides of the “chair.” Therapy is something everyone should seek. Mental health matters, and I am here to support others on their health and wellness journeys from a mental health perspective. My goals for you Goal setting is done together in the first few sessions. We spend time getting to know each other, then develop a comprehensive, goal-oriented plan with achievable action steps to promote growth and success in therapy. My first session with you In the first session, I gather the client’s history and understand their reasons for seeking therapy. Based on this initial meeting, subsequent sessions are structured to set therapy goals that work for the client.
