Valerie Thompson(She/Her/Hers)

Valerie Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Birmingham, Al specializing in life transitions, relationship issues, work/life harmony, trauma, and parenting.

Valerie works with each client to first value and prioritize themselves. Self care is not how one steps out of their life to recharge, it is how one builds a life they don't have to escape from. Valerie works with each client to set goals and integrate nourishing practices into daily life. When clients are cared for and well, they have more resources to meet and overcome their challenges, care for others better, and experience more joy.

Valerie has a BS in psychology and an MS in counseling. She has 24 years of experience working in non profit agencies, women's shelters, in consulting capacities, and in private practice. She considers it an honor and privilege to bear witness to each client's unique story and hold space for them to heal and transform.
