Hi! I am Galina (they/them). 


I am a trauma therapist and an EMDR-trained clinician. Apart from working in private practice, I also work as a mental health counsellor for international students at a college in Vancouver. 


I am passionate about supporting immigrant, neurodivergent, and LGBTQIA folk in navigating educational and workplace challenges. I work extensively with the following concerns:

  • graduate school burnout
  • managing ADHD at school and workplace 
  • workplace stress
  • workplace trauma
  • moral injury – a type of traumatic response that can result from violating our own values at workplace
  • finding life outside of work 

A great deal of my work is situated within the queer community. I support queer clients through the following journeys:

  • Gender identity exploration
  • Sexual orientation exploration
  • Navigating interpersonal relationships 
  • Addressing religious trauma 


I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with BC Association of Clinical Counsellors. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Statistics from York University, and my Master of Counselling degree from Athabasca University, where my research focused on mental health stigma.
