With a specialization in treating stress from past events, including childhood experiences or later life's challenges, he utilizes advanced techniques such as neurofeedback, biofeedback, and hypnosis to help his clients find relief from symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and trauma. Currently teaching psychology at the Masters level at Antioch University in Santa Barbara, Dr. Galaska excels at communicating complex psychological concepts in an accessible way.
