Valerie Keating–MA, PsyD
I began my path in psychology and healing in a traditional way. I obtained my master’s and doctoral degrees in clinical and health
psychology and have worked as a therapist in a number of settings including mental health centers, hospitals, colleges, and private practice. All of these experiences led me to develop a solid foundation and secure understanding of human development and interactions.
​
A pivotal moment in my personal and professional life came when I trained in a rehabilitation hospital with a number of patients who reported phenomena such as leaving their bodies, having near-death experiences, and seeing family members who were deceased. Their accounts spurred my interest in psychospirituality and forever changed my life and life’s work.
My research on near-death experiences and subsequent dissertation on that topic opened the door to studying reincarnation, past-life regression, the after-life (life in between lives), out-of-body experiences, consciousness, and Energy Psychology. These subjects greatly enhanced my understanding of who we are, why we are here, and how to achieve happiness and peace.
Most importantly, my work has led me to develop my intuitive, psychic, and mediumistic abilities so I can foster deep soul-level healing with my clients.
