Our Team

Valley View School

A Dedicated, Experienced Team
That Meets Students Where They Are

Valley View School is supported by people who care. Our team is made up of professionals who show up each day ready to connect, guide, and challenge students in ways that balance structure with compassion.

Many staff members have been part of the Valley View community for decades. Most serve in multiple roles that extend beyond the classroom or therapy office. Whether through morning check-ins, dorm conversations, academic help, or after-school activities, our staff are fully embedded in daily life.

The Valley View School Team

Each student at Valley View is matched with a dedicated clinician who coordinates their therapeutic care and serves as a central point of contact for the student and family. Our therapeutic team includes master’s level clinicians, psychologists, and a board-certified child psychiatrist.
