Getting to know Galia Torres
Hi there! My name is Galia. I am a psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner with a Master's degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from the University of North Carolina. I like to provide non-rushed, holistic treatment. Our sessions will typically last 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your preference. I prefer to combine solution-focused psychotherapy with medication management, as I believe we get further with both chemistry and logic. I am receptive to clients who lean towards med management only or non-medication solutions.
I also like to offer medical food treatment with or without psychotropics when appropriate. Data is very important in the subjective world of psychiatry. Therefore, I offer neurotransmitter, genetic, and lab testing to those clients who are data-driven as well. As far as specialties, I have experience with the treatment of anxiety disorders including OCD; mood disorders including bipolar; insomnia; personality disorders; psychosis; substance misuse; ADHD; adjustment disorders; complicated grieving; trauma; self-esteem issues; interpersonal issues; women's mood disorders such as peripartum, perimenstrual, and perimenopausal mood and anxiety disorders; as well as geriatric cognitive and mood disorders.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My clients describe me as empathetic and caring. My sessions as empowering and solution-focused. I like to establish a therapeutic alliance where two partners work together to reach the client's goals. My success relies on yours. I like to carefully calibrate medications and offer a rationale for every intervention so you can understand your treatment. I am receptive to what you are comfortable with, and will ultimately follow your lead.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Great experience, I felt like Dr. Torres really listened too what I was saying and that she genuinely cared about my wellbeing.
December 11, 2025Nellie C.Verified patientVideo visit
Galia was absolutely wonderful. I felt at ease right away and was able to communicate my feelings to her. She advised some things that have never been recommended before and I’m really excited to finally try something different. I appreciate her out of the box thinking. Her recommendation was a combination of medication and natural approaches/therapies. I will continue to see her. I highly recommend her!

Recibí una excelente atención, la doctora tocó los temas importantes para que como paciente esté bien. La recomiendo, porque no solo se preocupa por el tema farmacológico, sino también por las temáticas que me preocupan.

My doctor was a great listener and truly understood my worries and my concerns. And took the right way of dealing with my situation, and not shut me out like others, even family.
April 11, 2025Jose P.Verified patientVideo visit
Ms. Torres was fantastic! She listened to what I had to say closely and seemed to understand my conditions well. My treatment was adjusted during our first visit since I was already on meds and had a history with another psych. She helped me switch to the right meds for my ADHD which was hugely appreciated! Give her a shot and she just might change your life. <3

Galia is the best psychiatrist I have ever had. She always takes as much time as is needed to address all of my concerns and make me feel heard. Our discussions always discuss natural methods to solve problems before moving towards prescription drugs, which I appreciate. She responds to all of my messages incredibly quickly, and she's even helped me with non-mental health concerns when my PCP wouldn't listen. I can't recommend Galia enough. My life is so much better because she is in it.
