I am so much lighter after working with Valerie. The intuitive piece of the work is so powerful and healing. I wish it was less expensive to work with her but I understand that it is a rare thing she can do and also that it is probably draining for her.

Valerie is great to work with. We have been doing telehealth during covid19. She is able to connect with my guides and give me information that has really helped me feel more peaceful and like I'm not alone.

I love her. She is very real. Mrs. McManus is my favorite therapist. She is also funny and doesn't mind cursing.

It was a great first session with Valerie. I felt 10 pounds lighter leaving her office and more hopeful than I have in 15 years.

I’m so glad I found Valerie. I was hoping to find someone in my network and she’s an out of network provider but she has been well worth the money. Her fees are slightly lower than some of the other providers I called. She really is very intuitive, kind of psychic at times, but a normal person and very skilled therapist.

HIGHLY recommended therapist. Valerie is so great to work with. Her office is beautiful and peaceful and she is funny and kind and skilled at what she does. I've worked with other therapists before and was not nearly as pleased. I feel like I've made huge steps in my life since working with her and so much less pressure on myself. I also love the online scheduling option. It makes things so easy. You can see all her open appointments and just pick one and then it reminds you of your appointment.

Valerie is an awesome therapist. I never expected to feel as comfortable as I do. She's really helped me figure out why I have been having such a hard time and then how to feel better. Valerie is also really insightful and intuitive. I'm so glad to be working with her and actually look FORWARD to therapy sessions!
