Welcome to The Valkyrie Group

This isn’t a brand. It’s a lived experience turned into a map for transformation.

At The Valkyrie Group, I work with people who are done playing games with their pain. People who want real change, not more coping tools. Everything here is built from the ground up—through recovery, survival, and walking through the fire more than once. I bring everything I know to the table.

That includes:

• My work with Recovery Café, offering ASAM Level 1 outpatient groups and individual counseling for people facing court mandates, personal struggles, or both. It’s 100% online and built for people who need real support that doesn’t waste their time.
• Wind and Raven, the personal and shamanic coaching arm of this work—for people walking the spiritual edge. If you’re carrying unseen weight or trying to rebuild your inner world, this is where we meet.
• The Healing Pathways Program—a 12-week journey I created for people who want structure, growth, and soul. It blends psychology, recovery, and the unseen. I offer it in groups and one-on-one, depending on where you’re at.
• My books and writing, including This Is How It Feels to Heal and the guides that go with Healing Pathways. If you want to read your way into the work before you step in, that door’s open too.

Coming Soon: The Healing Pathways and Companion Guide

We’re getting close to launching The Healing Pathways and its companion guide—a 12-week program that blends recovery work, spiritual practice, and grounded healing into one path forward. It is built from everything I’ve lived through, practiced, and taught. This isn’t theory. This is a map.

This program will be available on Amazon and through guided cohorts for those who want to go through it with support. We’re currently inviting a few peer reviewers to take a first look before release. If you’re interested, email me at steve@valkyriecounseling.com.

You’ll see updates coming across all platforms soon. The website is being rebuilt, the programs are getting sharper, and the core message is getting even more clear: This is for people ready to step out of survival and into something real. If that’s you, let’s go.

With respect, Steve Patterson, Valkyrie Counseling Group | Wind and Raven | Recovery Café
