Thank you for visiting my site, I am glad you are here.
It takes a lot of courage and insight to seek out therapy and trust someone with your story. It is my job to be worthy of the task and to work with you to navigate the path you are, or would like to be, on.
"Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light". -Brene’ Brown
Hello, my name is Traci Boyle-Galestiantz (she/her). Life, relationships and finding our way can be challenging in 10,000 ways and support with navigating those struggles is something we all need and deserve.
My primary therapeutic focus is working with couples to build skills and strategies for optimal connection, communication and conflict resolution. All couples will face obstacles, no matter how much they love and care for each other. Very few of us learned effective ways to work through disagreements so we all could benefit from gaining as many skills as possible. I use the Gottman Method with couples to provide the tools to understand and connect through strife and life.
The theories that most guide my practice are based in a client centered and strengths based approach. I am an avid LGBTQ+ ally and care deeply about racial and social justice.
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) since 2007 and deeply appreciate being entrusted with people’s stories, struggles, and triumphs.
