About Dr. Valus

I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in 1999. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at San Francisco General Hospital and my post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco obtaining extensive supervision in both Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Behavior Medicine. I worked for several years under the direct supervision of Dr. Jacqueline Persons at the San Francisco Bay Area Center for Cognitive Therapy before entering private practice in 2003. I am a Founding Fellow of the Academy of Cognitive Therapy.

I moved my private practice from California to North Carolina in 2013.
