Leadership. Self-Awareness.
Sustainable Growth.
About The Agnews & Our Future Partnership
At Agnew Advantage Consulting, we believe meaningful growth begins with clarity, self-awareness, and intentional leadership.
We partner with private practice owners, professionals, leaders, and individuals who want to grow personally and professionally without losing themselves in the process.
Through strategic leadership advisory and Enneagram-informed coaching, we help clients better understand:
- how they think,
- how they lead,
- how they respond under pressure,
- and how greater self-awareness can strengthen decision-making, relationships, leadership, and long-term growth.
Our work is grounded in lived experience, leadership insight, and the belief that sustainable success impacts not only businesses and careers, but also families, relationships, teams, and future generations.
Whether supporting a scaling private practice owner through leadership challenges or helping an individual gain deeper insight through the Enneagram, our goal is the same:
Help people grow with greater clarity, confidence, and intention.
Meet Dr. Valencia Agnew
Founder | Strategic Leadership Advisor | Consultant
Dr. Valencia Agnew is the founder of Agnew Advantage Consulting and a seasoned private practice owner, leader, and consultant with a passion for helping others grow sustainably, both professionally and personally.
As the owner of a successful multi-location mental health practice, Dr. Agnew understands firsthand the realities of leadership, growth, team development, burnout prevention, strategic decision-making, and the emotional weight that often comes with building and sustaining a business.
Her work is grounded not only in education and expertise, but also in lived experience. Her approach is not based solely on theory; it is shaped by years of building, leading, learning, recalibrating, and sustaining growth in real time.
Over the years, Dr. Agnew has navigated the challenges many leaders quietly carry:
- balancing clinical identity and leadership,
- making difficult business decisions,
- building teams and systems,
- navigating mistakes, setbacks, and growth seasons,
- and learning how to lead with greater clarity, sustainability, and intention.
Her work focuses on helping leaders think clearly, recognize patterns sooner, strengthen leadership capacity, and build businesses designed to last.
Dr. Agnew is especially passionate about helping practice owners:
- grow without burning out,
- stop underestimating their value and leadership,
- develop sustainable leadership practices,
- and lead with greater confidence, clarity, and intention.
She believes leadership is not about perfection; it is about growth, responsibility, and the willingness to continue learning.
Through The Strategic Leadership Advisor™, she partners with scaling private practice owners in a high-level advisory relationship who are ready to focus on strategy, leadership insight, and sustainable growth
Dr. Agnew’s approach combines:
- strategic insight,
- leadership development,
- self-awareness,
- and sustainable decision-making.
Clients often leave with more than strategy. They gain greater clarity in how they lead, how they think, and how they move forward.
Known for her ability to recognize patterns, ask thoughtful questions, and create honest yet supportive conversations, Dr. Agnew helps leaders stop carrying everything alone and begin leading from a place of greater confidence and intentionality.
In addition to her consulting work, Dr. Agnew has received multiple awards and recognition for leadership, business excellence, and community impact. However, her greatest passion remains helping people grow in ways that positively impact not only their businesses—but also their families, teams, and future generations.

About Me & Our Future Partnership
I am Dr. Valencia Agnew. I am privileged enough to have the titles of the Giants Eugene Browning Medical Service Award recipient, Woman of the Year by West Michigan Magazine, Top Women Owned Business by the Grand Rapids Business Journal, and owner of three mental health practices in Michigan. While this all seems good on paper, life has the tendency to have an iceberg effect in which we only see the peak poking out of the water and miss the several layers of ice lurking underneath. My iceberg includes decades of hard-fought lessons, struggles, barriers, tears, joy, and everything in between. There is an advantage in sitting down with someone who’s been where you are and walked the road to where you want to be.
I started my professional career with a business management degree. With that, I worked ten years in accounting as a junior controller and as an accountant at a private firm before going back to school and obtaining my masters and doctorate in psychology. I began my private practice journey after working in the hospital and a community agency, and later served on the Michigan board of psychology. My private practice, Adolescent & Family Behavioral Health Services, has grown from just me to three locations in Grand Rapids, Holland, and Saginaw within ten years.
Success, balance, and sustainability take time and careful intention to build into the result we see manifested in other’s lives. Throughout my twenty-plus years of practicing psychology in various mental health settings, all leading to the leap of faith it took to open my own, I have gained invaluable insights that I want to share with you. Together we will build self-awareness in strategic sessions, overcome obstacles, and tackle doubt with each of my components of building and maintaining peace and prosperity with your business.
There are no shortcuts to success but there are smart investments we can make in ourselves from the resources around us and then use that wisdom as a springboard to our dreams. Let’s launch together with emotional, mental, and professional health so you can enjoy your business and your life. That’s the Agnew Advantage.
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY COACHES MEMBER
CERTIFIED INTERGRATIVE9 ENNEAGRAM COACH
Valencia Agnew,
PhD Founder
My Team
My name is Paige Agnew. I am an accredited enneagram practitioner through the Integrative 9 and I have worked in the mental health field for 11 years. In coaching I am passionate about leading others on a journey of self-discovery with validation, wisdom, and tools for the road ahead. There are few things braver than being willing to look within and celebrate all the parts of yourself, the good and the bad, and to choose growth.
I believe the enneagram is one of the best resources to facilitate that. I am a lifelong learner, whether it is opening a book or traveling to immerse myself into new countries, cultures, and systems. I’m a strong believer that food teaches us the best lessons, that knowledge is meant to be shared, and that the Detroit Lions can and will win a Super Bowl someday. And if that can happen, so can anything else.
