Hi, I’m Dr. Galit, delighted to meet you.
I am committed to people having it all and living a life they love.
Going to therapy is an act of self-care and self-love; a courageous gift we offer ourselves. Whether you’re experiencing a crisis or looking for that something more, I can help you bridge the gap between where you are today and where you wish to be in your life. I believe in our capacity for change should we be willing to embrace the struggle, confront our pasts, heal our wounds, and come to face our truest selves. Only from a place of self-acceptance and love can we truly create the lives we imagine. I believe that we are all on a lifelong journey of becoming perfectly imperfect, that anything is possible that we are willing to work towards, and that we are all capable of choosing, re-choosing, and creating our preferred futures.
Humanistically-existentially-person-centered trained, I hold a positive view of the human being; one in which he/she/they is the expert and change-agent of life, the focus is forward-focused and together we co-create reality, bridging the gap between where one is and where one wishes to be, integrating more directive approaches as needed to bring about deep, meaningful, and lasting positive change.
I am grateful to be engaging in this delicate and important work of supporting others in their lives; of cultivating meaningful relationships, holding safe space, and helping individuals, couples, and families thrive. You can have the life you imagine, and I am pleased and honored to walk beside you as you journey there.
Thank you for trusting me,
Galit
