Valerie Savoie, LCSW, CSW

Valerie Savoie brings 28 years of clinical experience to her work with youth, families, and adults. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials - LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and CSW denotes a certified social work credential - and has focused her practice on helping people build strength, confidence, and practical skills to become the version of themselves they want to be.

Her approach centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that encourages self-discovery and balanced attention to what a client needs to heal and grow. Valerie uses client-centered methods alongside evidence-informed tools such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices. She also draws on family systems perspectives and exploratory modalities including archetypes and the Enneagram to support insight and change.

Valerie specializes in addressing stress and anxiety, adjustment challenges, motivation and self-esteem, life transitions, and confidence. She has substantial experience helping with family conflict, parenting concerns, relationship difficulties, grief, sleep issues, and career or life-purpose matters. Her work includes focused support for themes such as abandonment, body image, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, jealousy, forgiveness, midlife questions, self-love, women’s issues, and workplace dynamics.

Valerie practices part time with the majority of availability on weekends and additional times on Tuesdays and Thursdays, including evenings which often fill quickly. She notes she is not able to respond to messages every day. Per licensing requirements she does not work with clients anonymously and will request a photo ID and contact information directly. Those interested in working with her should review availability and scheduling options before beginning.
