Hello! I am Valerie Thorn, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and Certified Cognitive-Behavioral Therapist (CCBT) practicing with Hidden Wounds Family Therapy. I hold a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Florida Southern College. I approach counseling from a collaborative, strength-based perspective, rooted in the core belief that the struggles we face in life make us more resilient and foster deep personal growth. Because each day is a new beginning, my goal is to walk alongside you to help heal emotional hurt, build upon your natural strengths, and equip you with practical coping skills when facing sadness, anxiety, or trauma-related stressors. By integrating evidence-based clinical practices with my Christian faith, I offer a compassionate, grounding space where we can work together to let your faith be bigger than your fear.
