Galia Radosh Sverdlin

I am a psychologist with a strong interest in understanding how personal history, social context, and lived experience shape emotional well-being and identity. I hold a Master’s degree in Crisis and Trauma Studies, which has provided me with a solid foundation to support individuals during moments of acute distress, uncertainty, and significant life disruption. My work is grounded in respect, curiosity, and a deep commitment to creating a space where clients feel safe, heard, and understood. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations, including undocumented women in the United States, asylum seekers, and people living with HIV. I also have clinical experience in hospital settings, working with children who have suffered severe burns, as well as in psychiatric hospitals. These experiences have shaped my sensitivity to vulnerability, resilience, and the complex emotional impact of trauma, illness, and systemic stressors. I bring a multicultural perspective to my work, having lived and practiced in Mexico, the United States, Tel Aviv, and Berlin. This background allows me to work thoughtfully with clients from different cultural, social, and linguistic contexts, and to remain attentive to how migration, identity, and cultural transitions influence mental health. I view counseling as a collaborative process and strive to offer an environment that is calm, respectful, and responsive to each client’s unique story.
