My name is Rachael Valencia and I’m the owner of Full Circle Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Colorado. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and I received my Masters’ Degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology. I have graduated from training in IFS, EMDR, and Animal-Assisted Therapy. I have also completed training in Play Therapies, Trust-Based Relational Interventions (TBRI), and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). While I specialize in treating children, teens, and families, I welcome working with adults. I believe in creating a space where I can help people tap into their own internal resources and their own ability to heal. I truly love this work and my clients. I know it takes so much courage to ask for help and I’m so grateful you are here.

Outside of being a therapist, I love to water ski on Lake Powell, lift weights, play tennis, and spend time with my husband and daughter.

Therapy dog for animal assisted therapy

Hi, I’m Huey! I’m an Australian Shepherd who loves to play fetch and to catch a frisbee (I’m pretty good at it too if I say so myself). My favorite treat is peanut butter and I love coming to work to play with friends and show off my cool tricks.

I completed basic, intermediate, and advanced obedience training. Rachael and I became certified with Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado.
