Mental Health & Mindset Coaching
Empathetic, evidence-based virtual coaching for teens and young adults looking for support with anxiety, confidence, and building healthy habits that last
Coaching Toward Confidence, Clarity, & Calm
A supportive space to slow down, feel understood, & learn how to create a life that feels more like you
When anxiety, self-doubt, or constant overthinking makes you wonder, “What’s wrong with me?” or, “Why does everyone else seem to have this figured out?” — you’re not alone.
I work with teens and young adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we slow things down, get curious about what’s really going on beneath the surface, and build the confidence and self-trust needed to move forward.
Through supportive mindset coaching and sustainable wellness practices, I help you:
understand and manage anxiety
strengthen self-worth and confidence
improve communication and relationships
develop a grounded, authentic sense of self
You don’t have to “fix” yourself or have it all figured out to start. You just have to be willing to explore what matters to you. We’ll create your path forward — together.

Valerie Marston, ICF & NBHWC Certified
I was born and raised in Raleigh, North Carolina, where I still live with my husband and our rescue dog. We’re an outdoorsy trio who spend as much time as possible walking, hiking, traveling, and soaking up life outside.
For much of my life — especially through high school and college — I was deeply stuck in people-pleasing. I wore perfectionism like a badge of honor and built my life around what I thought I should be doing and who I thought I should be for others. From the outside, things seemed fine. On the inside, I had completely lost my connection to myself.
Everything began to shift as I navigated my own physical and mental health challenges, including recovery from a severe eating disorder, and pursued my certifications as a Life Coach and then Health Coach. Through that process, I slowly found my voice — and myself. I learned what it actually feels like to live in alignment with my values instead of living in fear, by other’s expectations, or my own self-doubt.
Today, I live a life that feels grounded, sustainable, and genuinely mine — free from rigid rules, perfectionistic standards, and constant self-criticism. I’ve reclaimed my sense of choice and agency, and I’m deeply passionate about helping teens and young adults do the same.
My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that you don’t need to fix yourself — you just need support reconnecting with who you already are.
