Angie Galyean

Approach to Therapy

I bring a blend of clinical precision and lived experience that shapes how I show up as a therapist. After more than 12 years working in trauma, poverty-aware systems, complex family structures, and relationship dynamics, I understand how women’s patterns are formed, reinforced, and carried. I don’t just look at symptoms. I look at the environments you’ve survived, the roles you’ve been expected to fill, and the emotional labor that’s been quietly draining you for years. My style is relational, steady, and direct. I help you name the patterns that are holding you back without shame, and I teach you how to rebuild your internal framework so it actually supports the life you want. I blend EMDR, CBT, and a warm, collaborative approach that helps you feel seen, supported, and capable of change. I don’t give vague advice or surface-level fixes. I give language, clarity, and practical tools that help you move differently in your real life. My “renovation” lens is part of what makes my work unique. I help you dismantle old emotional structures built by trauma, people-pleasing, codependency, emotional abuse, and power-imbalanced relationships, then rebuild with stronger foundations rooted in self-worth, boundaries, and emotional steadiness. The work feels transformative without being overwhelming. I also have a specialized understanding of power dynamics in relationships, including kink and nontraditional relational structures. That means you get judgment-free support, an eye for nuance, and guidance rooted in consent, agency, and healthy relational agreements. More than anything, I focus on helping you turn insight into action. You leave sessions with words for your experience, tools you can use immediately, and the steady belief that change is not only possible — it’s already starting.

I also bring a nuanced understanding of power dynamics in relationships, including kink and other nontraditional structures, which lets me offer judgment-free support and guidance grounded in consent and agency. I’m equally comfortable supporting clients who want their faith to be part of the healing process. Whether you’re deconstructing, holding on to spiritual beliefs, or rebuilding a healthier relationship with faith, I can help you navigate that journey with respect and zero pressure. More than anything, I focus on turning insight into action.
