People need people for initial and continued survival, for socialization, for the pursuit of satisfaction. No one - not the dying, not the outcast, not the mighty - transcends the need for human contact – Irvin Yalom

    Testimonials

    “Valerie established a quick and positive connection both with the patients, who eagerly awaited her sessions and the group, and with the staff. With her profound sensitivity, Valerie succeeded in helping patients bring up traumatic content from their past, deal with existing patterns in the present, and achieve therapeutic goals for the future. Regarding her work with the staff, it’s evident that Valerie possesses an amazing ability to immediately create a warm rapport. With her unique approach, full of humor, professionalism, and empathetic sensitivity, she managed to touch everyone involved – staff and patients alike – thereby encouraging the continuation of therapeutic processes even beyond the therapy sessions themselves.

    Any framework, workplace, or educational program would benefit immensely from having such a first-rate professional.”

    Yael Almog - Clinical Criminologist, Director of "Maagalim". Group Therapy for Rehabilitating Offenders

    “Valerie is a humane, warm, and compassionate professional, passionate about her work. Throughout the sessions, Valerie was able to engage cooperation and motivation from complex patients, including those skeptical of the process and those who raised objections. Over time, Valerie built trust both with the children and the parents, enabling the touching of complex parts and conducting a deep and meaningful process, bridging gaps and rallying the parents and children towards improving their relationships.”

    Dr. Sigal Knei-Paz - Director of the Center for Family Peace, Netanya. Psychodrama in Group Therapy for At-Risk Welfare Families

    “Through Valerie’s connection with the students, the girls were able to learn about themselves, recognize their strengths, their abilities to overcome difficulties, crises, and better cope with social situations.

    Authenticity, sensitivity, and caring were the cornerstones of her work, creating a secure space that allowed for exposure, sharing, and discovering the group’s strength, as well as their own.

    The process also strengthened their sense of belonging to the school and, most importantly, helped them solidify their identity and boost their self-confidence.

    The students testify to the power within the group, the deep connection that was formed within them and with Valerie.”

    Dr. Moshe Hershkowitz – Principal of ORT Lod High School Psycho-Educational Body Image Workshop for High School Girls
