Stella Galarza De Saggese, LPCC
About me
As a licensed therapist in California with four decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My professional journey has been dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and self-esteem development.
Drawing from my extensive clinical background, I offer a compassionate and culturally sensitive approach that honors each person's unique lived experience. I am bilingual English-Spanish. I understand the nuanced ways life experiences shape our emotional well-being, and I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment.
My approach centers on empowering clients to discover their inner strengths, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. I bring deep empathy, professional expertise, and a genuine commitment to walking alongside you as you work through life's most challenging moments.
I welcome individuals seeking thoughtful, experienced guidance in their healing journey, with a particular understanding of the needs of diverse communities and older adult populations.
