I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience working with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship/family issues. I view the client/therapist relationship as an equal one - you are the expert on you, I am here to help guide you, give you support, and lead you to your strengths. The process of finding the right therapist and getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to make this process as seamless as possible for you, from online scheduling and client portal access to complete all initial paperwork; your first appointment is only a few clicks away. Click the "Request Appointment" button to schedule an appointment online as a new or existing client. Please note that most of my availability can be seen online. However, I reserve appointments each week for existing clients and scheduling flexibility, so if you don't see an appointment date and time that works for you, please contact me to schedule. If you have any questions feel free to call or text me at 315-515-4445; fill out the contact form below; or send me an email at valerie.lighthall@gmail.com.
