Remember who you were before survival

Helping thoughtful, high-functioning adults reconnect with themselves through trauma-informed therapy, psychedelic preparation + integration, and evidenced-based healing.

Rooted in Healing. Raised in Resilience.

I'm Taína Galarza, LMSW, a trauma-informed psychotherapist, writer, and founder of Modern Alchemix. 

For more than 15 years, I led humanitarian crisis efforts across New York City, supporting people through some of life's most difficult moments. Today, I bring that same steady presence into therapy, helping adults navigate trauma, anxiety burnout, identity transitions and psychedelic preparation & integration.

My approach blends evidence-based psychotherapy with deep curiosity about the stories we carry, the roles we've adopted, and the parts of ourselves waiting to be reclaimed. I provide individual psychotherapy through Sandoval CoLab, a collaborative clinical practice dedicated to thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care.

What Healing Looks Like

Is This You?

My practice is intentionally small so I can provide thoughtful, personalized care. I primarily work with high-functioning, high-achieving women who have spent years caring for others while gradually losing touch with themselves.

Many of my clients have already invested in their personal growth through books, podcasts, workshops, or even previous therapy. They've spent years learning about healing. Together, we focus on living it.

Our work goes beyond symptom management. Together, we'll explore the patterns, beliefs, and survival strategies that once protected you but may now be keeping you disconnected from the life you want to live. Rather than simply understanding why you are the way you are, we'll work toward translating that insight into meaningful, lasting change.

Healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that survival asked you to leave behind.  If you're looking for a therapeutic relationship rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and genuine transformation, we may be an excellent fit.
