Luise Galka

Hi, I'm Luise, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself without judgment. I earned my Master's degree from Troy University and work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use challenges. My approach is down-to-earth, compassionate, and collaborative—we'll work together to build practical tools, increase resilience, and help you move toward the life you want. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or looking for lasting change, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe, heard, and accepted. My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction to help you build practical skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any challenges you're facing, all at a pace that feels comfortable for you. My goal is to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we'll begin developing a plan that fits your needs and helps you move toward the life you want.
