Deer Valley Counseling

Contact Details

First, I should be up front. Jamie Nettles is my dad, and Sandra is my step-mom. I don't want anyone to think that I'm trying to be sneaky. With that said, Sandra acted as my counselor growing up. She's the kind of person that you'll feel comfortable talking to. I remember many times that Sandra would choose to wait for us at a bench in the mall or some such place, and when would get back a stranger would be with her telling Sandra their life story. It's just something about Sandra. Now, I do feel I should warn you. If you are looking for a councilor to just sit and listen to you, then you are looking in the wrong place. Sandra will support you, help you, listen to you, but she will tell you when you are fooling yourself too. Many, many, many times, more than I care to remember, Sandra would call me out on something, and I would get so frustrated and angry because I didn't want what she was telling me to be true, but after some time (a few minutes to a few days depending on my stubbornness) I would realize how right she was. In short, Sandra is a great counselor if you want to improve. If you sincerely want to feel better, to handle life better, to simply live better, then Deer Valley counseling is where you want to go.

My experience at Deer Valley Counseling was not the traditional counseling experience - I sought out Sandra Nettles not because I was seeking out mental health assistance at the time, but because I was a young counselor in need of training and mentorship as I began my journey in the field. I was privileged to be mentored by Sandra Nettles for approximately one year, and it remains one of the most fulfilling professional experiences I've ever had. During my time as a counseling initiate, Sandra was a patient and kind mentor, but she was also firm and exacting - she prided herself on providing her clients with high quality mental health care, and often made it clear to me that she would hold me to the same high standards to which she held herself. My time at Deer Valley Counseling was transformative, because it challenged me to grow as both a person and a professional - the organization opens its doors to individuals from all walks of life, and Sandra proved instrumental in helping me identify my professional strengths, weaknesses, interests, and insecurities as I started to take my first steps as a practicing counselor. All these years later, I continue to utilize the lessons and the skills that Sandra has taught me - I also continue to be grateful for the time, energy, and patience she demonstrated with me as I began the process of creating and shaping my professional identity. I'd like to close by saying that I heartily recommend Sandra to anyone seeking an outstanding mentor or a skilled mental health provider. As someone who has seen her excel in both these roles, I honestly cannot recommend her enough.

I went to them, the front desk very professional the counselor on the other hand started to hypothesize making almost accusations about may every day thinking I think that you need more than one time to get to know someone. I will not go back to the same counselor.

Brutally discrete (hellyeah)!...

I've been receiving counseling from Deer Valley for years now. I started off needing intensive counseling and now I only go in quarterly. I'm so happy with how far I have advanced and how incredibly instrumental Sandra Nettles was to my care. I could probably do without but I have found wonderful balance with my quarterly sessions. I actually encourage any PTSD patient to do the same.
