# Valiance Counseling & Mental Performance Coaching

> Valiance is a team of licensed therapists and mental performance coaches based in Milford, CT, working with young adults and families, high-performing professionals, and competitive athletes/teams. The practice combines clinical training with real-world performance experience (coaching, competing, building businesses) and operates outside of insurance, offering both in-person and secure video sessions.

Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute intro call, followed by matching with a practitioner based on goals and fit, then structured, goal-oriented sessions. Valiance does not accept insurance directly but many clients receive partial reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.
