About me
"Raising teens is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall." That is a quote I heard early in my career and it stuck. If you can relate to this statement then I believe you are meant to be here at this moment. So, Let's get started.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Employee Assistance Professional in Mississippi. I have 27 years experience in the field of mental and behavioral health services. This includes counseling teens from diverse backgrounds on a variety of issues, that includes, but not limited to, adjustment issues, self-esteem/self-worth, emotions management, depression, anxiety, family conflict, and interpersonal conflict. Rapport and trust is paramount in working with teens, therefore, I take an eclectic approach in exploring the best fit for their needs and readiness. Some therapeutic frameworks I utilize includes, Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, Behavior Management, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and Positive Psychology.
My training and experience is significant to the services provided, however, it is my commitment in guiding teens with an open heart and an open mind that is unmatched. I believe teens deserves a safe place to be vulnerable as they work toward their optimal level of well-being. I look forward to partnering with you and your teen on this journey.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Valerie Fields. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Valerie is a great therapist. She helps me to see other perspectives so I can make better decisions.
Valerie was an excellent counselor for my child. She made her feel comfortable she was able to relate to her and open up. She listened to her and felt that she was the first counselor in a while to be able to give her the tools to help her through her issues. I saw such improvement in her mood and attitude since she has had Valerie for therapist
Valerie is incredible at what she does. She really made me feel safe, listened, and gave grounded and constructive feedback.
my husband and I have really appreciated Valarie's expertise, the skills we have learned from her have strengthened our relationship and improved dynamics in our family
Valerie is by far one of the best therapists that I have had the pleasure of working with!
She has a wonderful energy that’s healing, she lets you go at your own pace and has such an incredible way of helping to bring things to the surface.
Valerie is very engaged in her clients feelings . She dissects where the root issue is created and implements ways that suits the client best to heal. I have struggles with childhood trauma, toxic relationships and being a mother with anxiety and Valerie has been the best suited therapist for me because she truly cares.
Valerie is wonderful and made me feel comfortable right away. I feel that she is knowledgeable and competent in her expertise. I would highly recommend!
I have enjoyed my sessions so far
she is amazing
We have complete confidence in Valerie in her expertise as our counselor. In the few meetings we recently had with Valerie, we see a sudden positive shift in our marriage due to the tools and techniques she provided us with.
