Galina Storozhenko

Maybe you are carrying grief, trauma, or the quiet weight of starting over in a new place, and you are looking for someone who actually understands what that feels like from the inside. Many of the people I work with are rebuilding their lives after a loss, a hard transition, or years of carrying more than anyone should carry alone, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. I am a licensed clinical social worker in California, and I was born speaking Russian, so I offer sessions in both English and Russian.

In our work together, we move at a pace that respects where you are, not where you think you should be. We focus on real, practical change: calmer days, steadier relationships, and a stronger sense of who you are outside of what happened to you. I bring almost two decades of clinical experience to our sessions, and I treat every person with the same respect, honesty, and fairness I would want for myself or for my own family

Our first session together is simply a conversation. I want to understand your story, what brought you here, and what you are hoping will feel different. Since I see clients by telehealth across California, you can meet with me from wherever you feel most comfortable. If you are ready for a steady, respectful place to start, I would be glad to talk with you.
