Claudia Gallenstein, LPC — Therapist in Georgia

Hi there, I'm Claudia!

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaker with a passion for working with individuals from different backgrounds to improve mental health. I hold a Trauma-Responsive Care Certification through The Tristate Trauma Network. I have experience treating people experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, and trauma-related disorders.

My focus

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and stress related to relationships.

My approach

My approach to therapy is holistic and client-centered, integrating evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, trauma, and solution-focused therapy. Based on your needs, we may explore your past experiences, thinking patterns, emotional distress, problem-solving, and coping strategies.

My communication style

In my sessions, I create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe and understood. Working with me feels like engaging in a collaborative and empathetic partnership. I prioritize active listening, validation, and open communication, fostering a sense of trust and comfort.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm passionate about mental health because it is fundamental to living a fulfilling and balanced life. Therapy provides a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings, gain insights into their behavior, and develop coping strategies. It empowers people to address and overcome challenges, leading to personal growth.

My goals for you

Together, we'll identify your goals and create a personalized plan that draws on evidence-based practices. I'll support you in building coping strategies, exploring patterns, and developing the tools you need to navigate challenges and achieve meaningful growth.

Our first session

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
