Who We Are

The Valorem team have been working together in public service settings for many years. Nina and Alyna first met when working together in a provincial correctional facility. Andreea later did a residency rotation at the same facility under Alyna’s supervision. She then transferred to the forensic service and completed her residency under Nina’s supervision. We are excited to combine our various backgrounds and training and our shared experiences to welcome you to Valorem Psychology.
