Adrienne Vale

Hello, I’m Adrienne, and I am passionate about supporting individuals through life’s varied challenges. Whether you’re dealing with grief, trauma, chronic stress, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, I am here to provide guidance and support as you navigate these hurdles.

Professional Background: I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Wilfrid Laurier University and a diploma in Child and Youth Work from Fanshawe College. My career has spanned several critical roles, including working with the MCRRT program alongside first responders in Huron and Perth counties, outpatient mental health at LHSC, and crisis intervention at CMHA.

Therapeutic Approach: I believe in a therapy that is as unique as the individuals I work with, utilizing an eclectic mix of methods tailored to each person’s needs. Our work together will focus on identifying the areas where you feel stuck and collaboratively creating a path forward that respects your pace and personal journey.

Core Philosophy: You will find a warm, safe, and supportive space in our sessions, where you can freely express your difficulties and work through them without judgment. My commitment is to help you feel seen, heard, and understood, facilitating healing and growth in a respectful and empathetic environment.

Specialized Expertise: My practice is inclusive and sensitive to the unique needs of trans individuals, indigenous Canadians, children, and their families. I employ techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and specialized therapies that address trauma and grief.

Client Focus: I work with a diverse range of clients including adults, children (6+), and teens. I am deeply committed to addressing issues such as trauma, grief, attachment, anxiety, and depression, with a particular focus on supporting first responders, the LGBTQ+ community, and indigenous populations.

More Than Just Work: Beyond my professional life, I enjoy the simple pleasures of nature and dream of someday running a small hobby farm.  Mornings are my favorite time of the day. I love to curl up with a hot coffee and get lost in the captivating pages of a good book! 

Let’s Connect: If you’re ready for change and seeking support, I am here to accompany you on your journey toward healing and empowerment. Book an appointment today, and let’s take that step together towards a brighter, more resilient future.
