I provide in-person sessions out of Walnut Creek and Livermore.
I work with first responders, military veterans, men, young adults, teens, couples, and families who seek strength, clarity, and stability in the most important areas of life. I serve those facing operational stress, trauma exposure, identity conflict, leadership strain, and the burden of carrying others while neglecting themselves. I also guide adolescents stepping into adulthood and couples facing relationship distress. In this work, struggle is not weakness but the training ground where virtue, discipline, resilience, and steady peace are formed through deliberate effort and honest self-examination.

I will help you build the skills necessary to empower you on the path to growth and healing. Whether you need support through a current challenge or are needing to address deeper problems I will be there to help.

Therapy is an incubator for change. It's where you workshop how to initiate it, and digest the changes that have happened. As a therapist, I am 'issue agnostic' and willing to work with most challenges. What's important is your desire to create a change, and readiness to collaborate with someone to create it. Equally vital to me, as a therapist, is that you feel actively heard — something sorely missing for many of us. I feel that we need to be heard and our experience recognized, before we can move on to any sort of change.

I offer a combination of arrangements including telehealth and in person appointments.
Therapy can be a co-creative space to explore deeper questions of identity, meaning, creativity, and purpose in one’s life. The people I work with are often moving through threshold moments—times when old identities no longer seem to fit and something new has yet to take form. Many feel drawn toward dreams, creativity, imagination, or spiritual questions, sensing that their inner life carries meaning. Often artists, creatives, or intuitive types, we explore the images, patterns, and stories shaping their lives, cultivating a deeper relationship with the psyche and what is emerging into consciousness.

I offer sessions in-person on weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as online via video throughout weekdays.
In my work with adults, children, adolescents, couples, and families, I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship itself. I am passionate about meeting clients where they are at and strive to foster a collaborative space while incorporating integrative approaches to meet your goals. I believe therapy can look different for each person, and I aim for this process to incorporate the stepping stones - whether learning new skills, exploring values, considering how we show up in relationship with others, or more - that move you toward the best version of yourself.

Sometimes it may feel like no one truly understands what you are going through. Maybe you feel like you are stuck in a revolving door of thoughts, feelings or actions that continually block you from getting where you want to go. Maybe the stresses and realities of our current world leave you feeling eroded and hopeless. You may have tried therapy, but still don’t feel like you have all the tools you need to handle the stresses of daily life. Are you tired of feeling powerless to lead the kind of life you envision for yourself?

My ideal client is someone who is doing their best to hold it all together—navigating the complexities of life, relationships, parenting, or personal growth—but feels stuck, overwhelmed, or misaligned with the person they want to be. They may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, struggling with conflict in their family or partnership, or feeling disconnected from their deeper sense of purpose. They’re curious, reflective, and willing to try something different, even if it feels uncomfortable at first. They may not know what it looks like to live in alignment with their values, but they’re eager to find out.

Hi, I'm Katelyn Carr Galvin, LMFT 111653, and I approach therapy as a place where you can be seen and heard in all phases of your life. I specialize in supporting women experiencing anxiety and stress often as a result of trauma, relational wounds, and overwhelming circumstances in life. I work with many women who have so much on their plates, from parenting to juggling work environments and life transitions. Wearing all these hats can feel burdensome and sometimes cause you to lose connection to yourself and others.
