About Ilene
My name is Ilene Vallance, LMSW, ACSW and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in the State of Michigan. I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and Academy of Certified Social Workers (ACSW). I have over 30 years of experience providing mental health services and psychotherapy in the public and private sector. I have specialized training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy, Positive Psychology, conflict resolution, and interpersonal communication skills. I enjoy working with a diverse group of adults and bring a wealth of professional experience to the table that you may find helpful in meeting your personal goals. As a therapist, I have a relaxed, nonjudgmental, and validating style. I understand the pain that can be associated with not feeling well emotionally or not feeling connected to others. I have flexible scheduling options for you to consider, Monday through Thursday, with some Saturdays appointments as needed. Please take a look at my schedule and choose an open appointment that works best for you or let me know what you need and I will make every attempt to accommodate your needs. I look forward to talking with you soon to get started! Read more Show less
