Val is amazing. She genuinely is such an amazing therapist. She listens and doesn’t judge and she makes you think about things you didn’t even realize you needed. She is so kind and sweet and she has truly helped me in so many ways.

I’ve only just started seeing Valerie Girod, but she has already changed my life in ways I didn’t expect. Opening up about my MST and PTSD has always felt impossible, yet she created a space where I finally feel safe, understood, and not alone. Her compassion, patience, and warmth have helped me talk about things I’ve carried in silence for years.
I’m truly grateful for her. For the first time, I feel hope—real hope—that healing is possible.
