I help creative dynamic people release themselves from the past and live in the now.

As a therapist, my philosophy is simple. I believe in your autonomy. I respect you. I listen. I believe in cultivating an equitable space for your unfolding. I provide a zone of non-judgmental presence where emotions can be felt, heard, seen, and released.

I’m Malia Gallegos. I am hapa - biracial - gen x – islander – partner – daughter - stepmom – aunty - dog mom – friend - dancer – laugher, and lifelong learner. I love people. I am open-minded and have lived a life full of love, art, and adventure. I became a therapist after I overcame my own trauma using the same tools I will share with you.

I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Somatic Psychology. I have advanced training in working with trauma and the body, and I am certified in many approaches to trauma and somatic therapies. My specialties are inclusive of long-term complex issues and life experiences.

AGE POSITIVE COMMUNITY BUILDING

Malia Gallegos & Team are developing anti-ageist, inclusive, intergenerational events embracing age, belonging and community.

Why?

An unfortunate byproduct of the pandemic is social isolation. We know research reflects that social engagement through deep authentic connection saves lives from the epidemic of loneliness.

Therefore…
We come together for group gatherings in person and online to nurture belonging by moving together, listening, learning, and engaging our true selves in social spaces that center embodiment, wisdom, connection & joy.

 
 

SOLID OLD SUNDAYS

Inclusive Intergenerational dance parties for all ages. Gently themed and inspired by genres and subcultures of the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond. DJs, performers, and You. Live at various locations in Los Angeles and online.

GEN-X GATHERINGS

No longer forgotten, a dedicated space for Gen Xers to celebrate our contributions, process life transitions, share memories, make new friends. In person and online workshops, events, process groups, and fun.

DancING BEYOND 60
