I’m Valerie Cash (she/her), a dedicated and compassionate Clinical Mental Health Counselor graduate student at Walden University. I’m currently pursuing a dual Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and School Counseling. I also hold a BS in Sociology with a minor in Psychology from Western Washington University. Right now, I’m completing my clinical hours at Inner Peace Therapeutic Services under the supervision of Dr. Grantland.

I specialize in trauma, crisis counseling, and military family counseling, and I’m no stranger to the mental health field. My previous work includes serving as a supportive case manager for individuals at risk of homelessness and working as a residential counselor for individuals with physical and mental disabilities. As a proud Navy spouse, I deeply understand the unique challenges faced by the military community.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, somatic therapy, and mindfulness techniques, to tailor each session to my client’s unique needs. My goal is to create a supportive and welcoming environment where clients of all ages and backgrounds feel safe and comfortable as they address their mental health needs.

I’m committed to making a positive impact in my clients’ lives, helping them navigate their mental health journeys with empathy and understanding. I believe that everyone’s journey is unique, and you are the expert of your own story.
