The Practice

Healing happens in connection

I work with individuals, couples, and families who have lost their way to themselves, each other, or their sense of purpose, and who are ready to do the inner work to reconnect and thrive.

My approach integrates attachment theory, somatic awareness, and family systems thinking, because your nervous system and your relationships are not separate projects. We work at the level of the body and the pattern, not just insight.

About

Kristen Vallely, LMFT

EMDR Certified · Sex and Intimacy Professional · Alternative Relationship Expert · Integration Specialist for Altered States

With a background spanning psychology and communications, my work sits at the intersection of how we understand ourselves, how we relate to others, and the patterns that shape both. My clinical approach integrates systems therapy, attachment, EMDR, somatic awareness, and relational work, with a focus on meaningful change that extends beyond the therapy room. My years of training across each discipline are grounded in the belief that lasting change happens at the level of both the body and the pattern.

I facilitate professional trainings, travel often, and believe deeply in the value of continuing to learn through both education and lived experience. I am also happily married and have lived within alternative relationship structures throughout my own life, experiences that have shaped the way I understand relationships, communication, and the many ways people build meaningful lives together.

I built this practice for people ready to build something authentic.

Getting Started

How Sessions Are Scheduled and Confirmed

Beginning care follows a simple process. Outreach with general availability and together we will schedule a consultation to discuss your goals and answer questions.

After, a portal invite will be sent out to complete your profile from my EMR system including documents, scribe consent forms, assessments and payment.

Once profile is complete with payment on file, we will schedule your intake.

Private Pay

Want More Control Over Your Treatment?

Private-pay therapy is available for both individuals and couples. It offers greater privacy and flexibility by allowing care to be tailored to your needs rather than insurance requirements, including the pace, frequency, and length of sessions. For couples, this means relationship-focused care without having to structure treatment around an insurance diagnosis or medical-necessity requirements.

Extended 75–90 minute sessions can be especially helpful for deeper, more focused work and are available through my private-pay services.
