Experience the Power of EMDR Therapy

Trauma doesn’t have to define your story. With EMDR therapy, you can process painful memories safely and release the emotional weight they carry. As your mind and body reconnect, healing becomes possible. Over time, many clients experience meaningful relief, greater calm, and lasting transformation through this powerful, evidence-based approach.

About Stephen

I’m Stephen Galloza, LMHC, NCC, and CCTP-II — a trauma therapist in Lake Mary, Florida, helping adults heal from painful memories and reconnect with their authentic selves. Through a warm, grounded approach, I offer a compassionate space where you can begin to feel safe, seen, and supported as you move toward lasting change.

As a retired police officer and Coast Guard veteran, I understand how deeply trauma can affect both the body and the mind. These experiences shaped my passion for helping others find peace and freedom after hardship. In my practice, I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic approaches to promote nervous-system balance and emotional resilience.

Healing takes time, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to take your next step, I’d be honored to walk beside you. Together, we can build a path toward clarity, connection, and lasting strength.
