Valerie McNicholl, LCSW

Chief Operating Officer

I’ve been licensed and working in mental health since 2002 and have been supervising and managing clinical staff and programs since 2005.  I graduated with my Bachelors of Social Work (BSW) from Syracuse University and with a Masters of Social Work (MSW) from SUNY Albany.  I am originally from New York, but have been in PA since 2013. Most of my professional career has been working with people struggling with addiction, but I have also worked with people with serious mental illness, developmental disabilities, other mental health issues, and general life stressors.

I strongly believe in the resilience of people and their ability to grow from difficult situations.  I have seen people recover in many ways and believe that every person, couple, and family has their own unique path to healing.  I feel extreme gratitude to be able to support therapists who directly help people make positive changes in their lives. 

When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, reading and spending time with family and friends, including my dogs, Hugo and Addie and my cat, Charlie.
