I’m Kristen Vallely, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Arizona and in Colorado I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Arizona State University and also hold certifications in Sex informed therapy, EMDR, DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Solutions Focused and foundational family systems models.
In addition to traditional therapy models, I bring in a holistic and somatic lens—blending evidence-based techniques with intuitive awareness, especially for clients exploring trauma, relational healing, parenting, and alternative relationships such as polyamory.
Most therapists treat what’s happening in your mind. I also look at what’s happening in your body.
I believe our brain is arguably the most important organ in the body — it is the command center for everything else. So why do we not put more emphasis on its health, and the ripple effect it has on our body and our lives? This question is at the heart of everything I do.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR-trained therapist, and Certified Personal Trainer. I graduated from Lindenwood University in Missouri with my Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2012, and founded Inspire Change Counseling in 2014 with a vision of creating a truly integrative approach to mental health care — one where clients receive a multi-disciplinary scope of care, not just a referral for medication.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I believe in approaching clients where they are at when they come to see me. Seeking out any mental health assistance can be an overwhelming and frustrating challenge that many struggle to face. My focus is to reduce those feelings by providing a calm and secure environment. In the 5 1/2 years I have been practicing, I have never stopped learning from my clients.
I’m an immigrant, a wife, a mother to a neurodivergent child, and neurodivergent myself. My lived experiences, including divorce, high-conflict co-parenting, navigating special education, interracial relationships, and cross-cultural communication, shape how I understand and support clients through complex, real-life challenges.
Hi, I’m Virginia, a Licensed Master Social Worker in Arizona with over 12 years of experience supporting adolescents, young adults, and adults. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized, and I believe therapy should be a safe space where you feel heard and supported. I’ll work with you to understand your goals, build on your strengths, and find approaches that feel comfortable and meaningful for you.
