Meet Galia Artzy

photo of GaliaI work with adults of all genders and ages. My goal is to make myself obsolete- work with you just until you are ready to go forth on your own. I welcome individuals with issues of relationships, depression and grief, anxiety, and history of trauma. I use several psychological approaches including client-centered, psycho-dynamic, solution oriented, cognitive-behavioural, and supportive psychotherapy.
