Valerie Dubois LPC at Brookside Counseling 601 East 63rd Street, Kansas City, MO 64110

"Valerie is awesome! She's given me great feedback, wonderful life advice and all kinds of methods to deal with an arrangement of problems. Very laid back which makes therapy not so intense. 10/10 would recommend"

"Valerie is a big part of while I’m doing so well in life right now. When I started seeing her I was crippling in my depression and she showed me all of the skills I need to make everything so much better. She helped me get my back. I still go to her because she still helps with my everyday life and skills I’ll need later on in life to help me keep growing. She’s the best!"

"I have been seeing Valerie for around 1 year. She has been immensely helpful, and on many levels. Although I feel I'm thriving in my life more than ever thanks to her help, I still come to counseling because she hasn't just been great in helping me understand and process trauma; she has also been amazingly helpful with "smaller" things, which has been amazingly valuable and helpful as I become more secure and confident in my own ability to handle life's challenges. I've come to think of counseling/therapy as "self care" and not just something I benefit from when in the most difficult, hopeless moments. Through it all, she has treated me with great respect. She is open-hearted, honest, direct, and respectful. She challenges me when it's called for - which can be difficult, but less so in a safe, non-judgmental space. I am very grateful."

"“Valerie is very professional, knowledgeable and sincere. She has made me see things about myself and behavior without outright telling me what to see. Valerie helps me through the hard times and good. She’s been patient and understanding. These are all qualities an excellent LPC should have but unfortunately so many lack. I feel lucky to have her in my corner as a coach and confidant. Thank you Valerie, beyond words”"

"do not see this therapist. She’s invalidating, infuriating, and will withhold treatment from you that you desperately need."
