Valkyrie Counseling Group

Books, facilitator education, and recovery-oriented frameworks for people doing serious work.

Valkyrie Counseling Group is the professional, publishing, and developmental home for the work of Steve R. Patterson and Juliana Tabares. It is where books, recovery-oriented frameworks, facilitator resources, and long-form teaching projects are developed and shared.

Valkyrie is not a clinic and does not currently offer direct counseling services. The work here is educational, developmental, and consultative. It is built for readers, facilitators, counselors, recovery coaches, peer-support workers, and group leaders who want practical tools without unnecessary bureaucracy or empty jargon.

The work grows out of lived experience, clinical practice, group facilitation, recovery, reinvention, and long-term study. It is not built around theory alone. It comes from years of working with people in real groups, real crisis points, real resistance, and real change.

What Valkyrie Does Now

Valkyrie now focuses on three related areas: published books, facilitator education, and practical support for recovery-oriented group work.

This is not counseling, therapy, diagnosis, treatment, crisis support, or clinical supervision. Valkyrie discusses counseling and group work, but the work offered here is educational and consultative.

ASAM Level 1 Facilitator’s Guide

The ASAM Level 1 Facilitator’s Guide to Outpatient Groups is one of Valkyrie’s current central projects. It was created for counselors, recovery coaches, peer-support professionals, and group facilitators who want a structured but flexible way to lead outpatient recovery groups.

The guide is practical by design. It is meant for real groups with real people. It addresses silence, resistance, disengagement, dependency, accountability, values, relapse patterns, and the need for plain language that people can actually use.

Valkyrie is also developing a YouTube series that walks through the guide section by section, with practical commentary on how to use the material in live group settings. The series will focus on practical facilitation: how to open groups, frame discussion, respond to resistance, avoid unnecessary clinical jargon, and keep recovery groups structured without making them mechanical.

Healing Pathways

The Healing Pathways Companion and The Healing Pathways Facilitator’s Guide remain part of the larger Valkyrie body of work. These books offer a narrative-based, integrative approach to recovery, healing, and transformation.

The Companion is written for the individual reader. It invites reflection, journaling, narrative practice, and personal exploration. The Facilitator’s Guide supports group leaders, counselors, recovery coaches, and facilitators who want to bring the Healing Pathways framework into group or community settings.

The public-facing Healing Pathways video series will be hosted through Wind and Raven. That is where Steve Patterson will walk through the material chapter by chapter and host future conversations about recovery, healing, dependency, identity, story, meaning, and transformation.
