I am Valerie Larkin LPC. I have served clients in the Metropolitan Atlanta area for 12+ years. I currently utilize the telehealth platform for the convenience of those being served. I utilize the integrative approach (Cognitive Behavioral and Person-centered to therapy). Individual, couples, group, and grief therapy is offered to clients. I am an ordained minister who offer Christian Counseling to those who desire faith-based counseling. I am family oriented. I have 3 wonderful adult children + 3 adult children through marriage and a host of grand. In addition, I am married to Jeffrey Lewis, who I serve alongside in ministry. Jeffrey is also an Ordained Minister, Credentialing Coordinator and Certified Career & Life Coach.
The expectation for the 1st session is to gain insight into the reason clients are seeking counseling services, obtain history of counseling services including medication management (if applicable) and family mental health history. Open and honest communication is always best to ensure that clients receive best treatment options. Clients are expected to cancel and/or reschedule appointment with at least 24 hour notice in order not to incur a $25 fee.
My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Person-Centered therapy. I believe that the answers needed are within the client, and the therapist is a tool to help facilitate the process of healing and recovery.
Therapist prefers to work with clients who understand that are an integral part of their individual development, growth, and healing . This means the client (s) are committed to the process of therapy and understand it takes both the Client and therapist collaborative work to reach established goals. The ideal client with complete homework assignments and engage in the therapeutic process.
Therapist uses CBT approach to help clients identify unhealthy thinking patterns and teach how ti change behaviors that causes distress.
Therapist uses evidence-based framework to shift negative communication patterns, deepen intimacy, and rebuild trust.
Therapist will integrate clinical treatments of Cognitive Behavioral therapy with spiritual disciples to help facilitate holistic healing.

She was Christian orientated and that is what I needed. Very good listener and gave good feedback and assignments as well.
