I have been described as calm, consistent, and compassionate by my clients. My approach is comprised of support, validation, empowerment, and honesty.

I also offer clinical supervision services for LSW and LMHC-A licensure. I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and more.

Hello! I am a LLMFT that loves to genuinely get to know people, what makes them who they are and what ones' journey has encompassed before I met you. I am a wife, mother, military spouse and someone who loves to be outside as much as possible. 

It takes strength to seek help. My goal is to build a safe, non-judgmental environment, where we can explore and find insight together. In therapy, I enjoy working with clients to explore their inner worlds to build self resiliency. Mostly, I work with adults and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression and/or dealing with trauma. During our sessions, I take a mind-body approach where we collaborate investigating factors keeping you from success. Using a mix of treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and other meditation / mindfulness-based treatments, we’ll explore how to reach your goals.

Do you ever want to feel validated, heard, understood, and not judged by others? Some days it feels like you are alone and misunderstood, but it does not have to be that way. Based on my experience as a clinical therapist, I specialize in working with Teens and adults focusing on but not limited to anger management, anxiety, and depression, with a vision to empower clients to feel confident, assurance within themselves, and normalize feelings with reasonable solutions and coping skills to manage everyday life.

My name is Val Warne.  I live in Northern Michigan, am married and have 2 grown daughters.  I love the outdoors, nature and the slower pace of life this area offers. I have been a therapist for over 30 years and have worked in both the public and private sector.  I spent 10 years working with teens transitioning from high school to college, trade school or the work force and 18 years with the VA where I worked with disabled veterans transitioning back to civilian life and employment.  I also worked for several years in a private, out patient, rehabilitation facility that focused on closed head injury.
