(she/her)
Hi there! My name is Galia. I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner, who likes to provide unrushed, holistic treatment. Our sessions will typically last 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your preference. I prefer to combine solution-focused psychotherapy with medication management, as I believe we get further with both chemistry and logic. I am receptive to clients who lean towards med management only or non-medication solutions. I also like to offer medical food treatment with or without psychotropics when appropriate. Data is very important in the subjective world of psychiatry. Therefore, I offer neurotransmitter, genetic, and lab testing to those clients who are data driven as well. As far as specialties, I have experience with the treatment of anxiety disorders to include OCD; mood disorders including bipolar; insomnia; personality disorders; psychosis; substance misuse; ADHD; adjustment disorders; complicated grieving; trauma; self-esteem issues; interpersonal issues; women-mood disorders such as peripartum, perimenstrual, and perimenopausal mood and anxiety disorders; as well as geriatric cognitive and mood disorders. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I believe my most important qualities are empathy, authenticity, and a strong clinical skill set. I enjoy managing all psychiatric symptoms and derive tremendous reward in seeing my clients find relief and reach their potential.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I mostly provide outpatient services to adult/geriatric populations. I have emergency room experience managing ages 4 and older. Recently, I have been selectively extending services to teenagers, and children, 6 years and older. I find all phases of development fascinating.

Eclectic
My practice utilizes an eclectic treatment model that combines evidence-based medication management with individualized psychotherapy. This integrative approach allows for flexibility in addressing the unique needs of each patient, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic principles, trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions. Medication is thoughtfully prescribed to support neurobiological balance, while therapy focuses on insight, coping strategies, and behavioral change. The collaborative use of both modalities ensures a comprehensive path to healing and sustained mental wellness.
