Dr. Jennifer Galvan is a licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY26266) in private practice in Calabasas, California. Her approach to therapy is warm, perceptive, and refreshingly direct. She believes meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves more deeply—but insight is most powerful when it helps us move forward.
Dr. Galvan creates a therapeutic space where clients can feel genuinely seen and understood while also being encouraged to look at themselves, their relationships, and their experiences from new perspectives. She brings a grounded confidence to her work, helping clients recognize their own strengths, trust themselves more fully, and approach challenges with greater clarity and courage.
At the heart of her work is a fundamental belief in human potential. Rather than defining people by the difficulties that bring them to therapy, Dr. Galvan is interested in the whole person—their history, patterns, relationships, strengths, and the possibilities that may exist beyond their current circumstances. Her style balances compassion with candor, offering support while also being willing to ask the questions that can lead to deeper understanding and lasting change.
Dr. Galvan earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Diego State University and later received both her Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University. She continued her advanced clinical training at the New Center for Psychoanalysis, where she earned a certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.
Through her work, Dr. Galvan helps clients do more than understand where they have been. She helps them recognize who they are, what they are capable of, and how they want to move forward.
