Galia Nissim, M.A., M.S., RMHCI

Hi, I’m Galia - a therapist devoted to helping individuals and couples feel more grounded, connected, and empowered.

With over 20 years of experience in psychology and counseling, combined with a personal foundation in mindfulness and mind-body practices, I bring a unique blend of clinical depth, research insight, and embodied presence into every session.

I hold a B.A. and M.A. in Psychology, an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and I’m a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern in Florida.

My career began in research, exploring how parenting shapes emotional, physical, and relational development in children. I spent years conducting clinical observations andimplementing attachment-based interventions that supported families inhealing and reconnecting. I later worked with foster families navigatingtrauma, which strengthened my appreciation for the resilience of both childrenand caregivers. That work revealed how safety, trust, and consistent supportcan create powerful pathways to healing, even in the face of deep challenges.

Over time, I felt a calling to work more intimately with women. I began facilitating women’s circles, leading transformational workshops, and creating spaces for self-exploration, emotional growth, and embodied empowerment. This work remains close to my heart-supporting women through life’s transitions, reconnecting with themselves, and stepping into lives of intention and fulfillment.
My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence-based. I draw from modalities including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, somatic practices, and the Gottman Method for couples. Alongside, my work is grounded in presence and wholeness. With over a decade of experience in mindfulness, meditation, and integrative well-being practices, I support both inner and outer transformation.
I am alwaysevolving, currently studying Dr. Ben-Shahar’s Certificate in Happiness Studiesand deepening my toolkit to meet each client where they are.
Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or the courage to grow into your fullest self-I’m here to walk beside you with care, curiosity, and strength.

On a Personal Note

I’m a mom of three, and family life is one of my deepest joys. Whether we’re hiking, at the beach, or simply sharing moments at home, these connections ground me. I find peace and balance through movement, yoga, long walks, and time in nature, and I’m always carving out space to read, reflect, and grow. I believe how we care for ourselves shapes how we care for others. These rhythms help me stay connected, to myself, to what matters, and to the presence I bring into my work.
