Why Values Vault
Find the words for what matters most
Every day, you make hundreds of decisions. Whether you realize it or not, they’re shaped by the values you hold. Values Vault helps you name them, so you can choose with more clarity and confidence.
The most complete values sort
208 values, each with its own carefully written definition, so you can find the words that truly fit instead of settling for “close enough.”
Built in the therapy room
Created by licensed therapist Aly Webster, LCPC, and shaped by years of client feedback about which values were missing from other decks.
Designed to reveal patterns
17 color-coded categories with their own graphics help you spot themes as you narrow down, and make the whole deck a joy to lay out.

Meet the creator
A two-year labor of love
Aly Webster, LCPC, first used a values sort in graduate school and went on to use it with countless clients. It quickly became a favorite exercise, but she kept noticing values that were missing.
What began as a plan to add a few words became a two-year project. Aly more than doubled the number of values, rewrote every definition, and worked with her web-designer husband on a design to match the depth of the cards.
Hope you enjoy them! — Aly
