Galina Buckhout, LPCC

Galina Buckhout, LPCC

Psychotherapist
CA
My name is Galina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois and California. I earned a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Northeastern Illinois University in 2006 and a PsyD in Counseling Psychology from California Southern University in 2019. With over 16 years of experience, I have worked in diverse mental health settings, including hospitals, partial care, outpatient, and addiction centers. I assist individuals and families facing a wide range of personal challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, family issues, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma, abuse, and more. My work is dedicated to improving my clients' lives by guiding them toward self-awareness and self-acceptance. Together, we address their personal struggles and reduce suffering, increasing their chances of living healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives. I believe therapy must be tailored to each person's unique needs, life challenges, and circumstances. I do not support a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I practice patient-centered therapy grounded in acceptance and support. My style is eclectic and integrative, drawing from cognitive, developmental, solution-focused, systemic, and psychodynamic therapies to provide the best care possible. I look forward to working with you-let's begin the journey to a better life together!
