Welcome.

Hello! I am Ali Waltien- Clinical Psychologist, M.A. and former Child Life Specialist. I provide individual and family counseling in Shelburne, Vermont. I began my career in 2009 as a Certified Child Life Specialist at University of Vermont Children’s Hospital, supporting children and families impacted by serious illness, medical trauma, grief, and loss. Since leaving UVMMC in 2021, I’ve enjoyed working in private practice, supporting children, teens, adults, and families impacted by a variety of life stressors. I love my work and forming meaningful connections with the clients in my care. I believe in a collaborative approach, trusting your voice and experience to guide our time together.
