Galina Storozhenko, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Galina!

I am a therapist with 19 years of experience. I have helped clients with a wide array of mental health needs and concerns. I have extensive experience with helping clients with issues that include grief and loss, trauma, PTSD, and substance abuse among other issues. I work in a person-centered framework and have a myriad of interventions.

My focus

If you are struggling with grief, trauma, anxiety, or depression we can work together to improve your state of mind and well being. Life traumas and transitions can be difficult but there are tools and support to help you get throught any difficulties.

My approach

My aproach is client centered and we work together to design therapy that supports the client and their needs.

My communication style

I have an open and flexible communication style with a focus on transperancy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in many different settings including the hospital, hospice, crisis stabilization care, and jail. I have worked with people from all walks of life and provided judgement free care and emotional support.

My goals for you

We work together to set goals specific to what a client needs to get the most out of the theraputic experience.
