Anakaren Galarza, MA - Therapy Clinical Intern

The therapy process is unique to every individual due to their experiences, how they process emotions, and why we make certain decisions. My goal is to provide individuals a space where you can feel supported, heard, and understood on the challenges they are struggling with.
Whether it’s working with Children, Adolescents, Couples, and Families, I am here to understand who and what made you who you are. I am here to be a guide, coach, and support in this journey where we can work together to achieve your goals. In this journey together, we will confront issues and create new and healthier patterns.
I am a Therapy Clinic Intern completing my final year of my Master’s Degree in the Couples and Family Counseling graduate program at Northeastern Illinois University. While I gravitate towards Solution- Focused Brief Therapy, Strength-based, Person-Centered, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will utilize different evidence-based approaches that best suit the individual.
