Galina Zlotnikova
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #83992
I specialize working with people who have experienced trauma, emotional or physical abuse, chronic illness or are caregivers to someone living with a chronic illness. Drawing from my own personal experiences with illness and trauma, I dedicated many years to studying mind-body therapies. My goal was to understand the root causes of illness and trauma and identify the most effective, easily implementable treatments—approaches that wouldn’t overwhelm or strain individuals who are already coping with compromised health. I work with a deep understanding that, for trauma survivors, symptoms often take the place of memories. In my practice, I strive to create a warm, welcoming space where every client is met with gentle curiosity and thoughtful attention. My goal is to understand you from your point of view and to help you to connect to and befriend parts of you that feel hurt, neglected, anxious or overwhelmed. Regardless of your past experiences or current challenges, my hope is that we can work together to build the resilience and self-compassion you need to live a meaningful, healthy, and fulfilling life.

Lisa Andresen
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Getting sick of what's bothering you? Are your thoughts feeling tough to control? Been challenging to unwind, enjoy yourself, or get a good night's sleep? Feeling emotionally lonely, frustrated with family, or disappointed with your friends?
You may be successful professionally and still experience dips in your self-esteem, mood, and energy. Imposter syndrome goes hand in hand with perfectionism, procrastination, and productivity. The irony is you may be working harder than most people around you, and yet feel worse about yourself than they do.
You don't have to keep living like this. Therapy can help you understand how your mind works and optimize accordingly. For example, you can catch self-defeating negative thoughts and reframe them to be more helpful for you through CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
You have the right to feel better too.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My background is in both psychoanalysis and neuroscience (doctorate) and I am also a Certified and Licensed Psychoanalyst. So I am able to bring both a background in research into mind/brain issues, and I am trained as a clinician. I have been working with trauma for many years, and most recently (2016) I have been working with traumatic brain injury patients (including professional athletes). I am grateful for my dual background in mind/brain, because all brain injured patients require both perspectives. In August of 2023 I published "The Complex Architecture and Healing of Traumatic Brain Injuries: Listening to The Brain" with Cambridge Scholars Publishing in the UK. This is the story (based on case histories) of the journey to find a "healing road" for all persons who have had serious disruptions in brain functioning. This is very, very challenging territory to work in. And in my experience, requires a great collaboration between doctor and patient. I am also the author of "Moon Over Seaville," the story of the hunt for a serial arsonist in Southern California (in 4 Episodes). Available everywhere under "Mystery/Thrillers." I have patients all across the country (via phone). Brain injuries can be healed!
