Life is complicate. Change is hard. Wellness is worth it.

I am here to walk this path with you.


I help you explore the possibilities of change in an open minded, compassionate, supportive and unconditionally accepting environment. Change can be scary and difficult. Throughout the therapeutic process, you will have an opportunity to access inner strengths, explore past experiences, confront fears, gain insight with a sense of mindfulness and curiosity. No matter where you are in your journey, whether it is to optimize emotional and/or physical wellbeing or maintain it, integrative therapy can help.


I am a Mental Health professional and a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine provider who is trained in a number of modalities and draw from Family Systems, Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Nutritional Psychiatry. I has over 12 years of experience helping clients improve emotional wellness and mental health concerns through psychotherapy, coaching, latest science in real food nutrition and other alternative strategies.


I approach mental health and well-being in an action-oriented way and from a holistic, whole-body perspective, with an underlying view that mind, body and spirit are interconnected. I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, work-life balance, and finding inner peace.


I am committed to a lifestyle that she teaches her clients which incorporates mindfulness, emotional health, whole food eating, and fulfilling activities. I am excited to help you build confidence in creating a nourishing lifestyle that considers mind/body balance, self-care, hopefulness and excitement.

Hello, I'm Valerie!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

​I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.

You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.

Are you in a place where you would like to increase growth, change or wellness in your life? Do you want to identify and understand patterns that continue to happen and make you feel “stuck”? Are you interested in enhancing communication skills, developing stronger coping mechanisms, or processing a difficult time in your life? I'm a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio with experience working with diverse populations and with various mental health issues. I am passionate about helping people gain insight and a sense of empowerment as they navigate transitions and challenges inherent in life. In therapy, I create a safe and open space for you to deepen your awareness of yourself and others so that we can begin to explore the way the stories we tell ourselves impact our mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

I have experience working with adults(18+) families and couples treating a number of concerns including navigating anxiety and depression, addictions, relationship concerns, phase of life issues and changes, stress management, community violence, domestic violence and healing from trauma and codependency. My experience also includes treating substance use disorders, including relapse prevention, treatment diagnosis/education and working with families on psychoeducation and mending relationships. I will work to help you expertly navigate your challenges such as processing difficult emotions, learning healthy coping skills, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation of yourself, enhancing your self-esteem, and building satisfying relationships.

I believe in a practical, strengths-based method of treatment. My approach is compassionate, honest, and genuine. I use a strengths-based approach with a focus on overall wellness using cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, solution-focused techniques and schema therapy techniques to encourage, empower and collaborate with you to assist you in regaining resiliency, to begin working together towards positive change. I would describe my approach as warm, solution-focused, and client centered. You are the expert on You! My goal is to help you heal through a mindful process for a deeper awareness of self and begin to establish new patterns of behavior to help you achieve a greater well-being. Together, we can identify your negative thought patterns, improve emotional regulation and self-awareness while using the strengths we will identify throughout the counseling process. I look forward to working with you!

Hi! I am Marissa, thank you for taking the time to read this and decide if I might be the therapist for you. I have a Masters in Social work from Cleveland State University and have been a Licensed Social Worker (LISW-S) since 2016. I have had the honor to work with a diverse population of people over the years. Currently I am working in private practice with individuals and families. I work with children as young as 3 years old through the lifespan. I have a passion for perinatal mental health, women's health, chronic illnesses, parenting, and children/adolescents.

Clients have often expressed feeling I am genuine and authentic in our work together. I take pride in this as I feel we are all people trying to navigate life with the skills we have and all need additional support to find healthier or better skills. I look forward to getting to know you and please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
