Angie Galyean

Do you replay conversations with your partner, wondering if you overreacted? Do you apologize just to keep the peace, even when you're not sure what you did wrong? Has your partner made you question your memories, your judgment, or whether you're "too sensitive"? Do you feel like you're living with two different people, never knowing which version of your partner you'll get? Or maybe you've left the relationship, but you still find yourself struggling to trust your instincts or feeling drawn to the same unhealthy relationship patterns.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who specializes in working with women who are currently in emotionally abusive, coercive, or controlling relationships, as well as those healing from past domestic violence or unhealthy relationships that continue to affect their lives today.

Whether you're trying to understand what's happening in your current relationship or you're realizing that a past relationship is still shaping how you trust, communicate, and connect with others, therapy can help. Together, we'll make sense of your experiences, rebuild your confidence, strengthen healthy boundaries, and help you reconnect with yourself so you can move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.

Outside of the office, I love spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I'm a big hockey fan, enjoy everything from rom coms to horror films, and love traveling. You'll rarely find me turning down tacos, sushi, or a good cup of coffee, and I have a full blown fascination with dinosaurs.

My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in helping women make sense of abusive relationship dynamics that have left them feeling confused, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we'll explore patterns of emotional abuse, coercive control, manipulation, and trauma responses while understanding how those experiences have affected your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and sense of self.

I have a laid back style and believe therapy works best when you can show up exactly as you are. I value honesty, authenticity, and appropriate humor, even when we're talking about difficult topics. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be real, while also helping you recognize the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

I don't tell clients whether they should stay, leave, or return to a relationship. Instead, I help women recognize unhealthy relationship dynamics, rebuild trust in their own perceptions, and separate fear, guilt, obligation, and self doubt from what they genuinely want and need. My goal is to help you develop the insight, confidence, and self trust to make decisions that align with your own values, not someone else's.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and decide whether we're a good fit. We'll talk about what's been happening in your relationship, how it's affecting you, any relevant history, and what you're hoping will be different as a result of therapy.

Many of the women I work with come to their first session wondering if they're overreacting, questioning their own perceptions, or feeling unsure whether what they're experiencing is "bad enough" to talk about. You don't need to have everything figured out, and you don't need to have all the right words. My role isn't to judge your relationship or tell you what decisions to make. It's to help you understand what's happening, make sense of your experiences, and begin rebuilding trust in yourself.

You'll have plenty of space to share your story, ask questions, and discuss your goals for therapy. Most clients leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and with a better understanding of where we'll focus our work together.
