Gala Oliver-Singh

Gala Oliver-Singh helps people navigate change by encouraging response instead of reaction and by fostering trust in the process of transformation. With 17 years of clinical practice, she brings steady, experienced support to individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, career difficulties, and other life transitions.

Her path into counseling began during her own therapeutic journey, and that personal experience inspired a professional commitment to helping others rewrite the stories they live by. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance from Louisiana Tech University and chose a career that allows her to turn lessons learned in turmoil into practical help for others.

Gala has worked in diverse settings and with multiple client groups. Her background includes facilitating personal growth groups for LGBTQ young adults, serving as a mental health consultant on identity development and the coming out process through Safe Zone Training, providing individual, family, and group therapy in outpatient and community environments, offering school-based mental health services for students and families, and counseling survivors of domestic violence to support safe, independent, violence-free lives.

She is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Louisiana. Gala maintains a clear focus on educating and empowering individuals and groups who have been historically marginalized and stigmatized, with particular attention to ethnic and sexual minorities.

Her therapeutic approach is client-centered and relational, built on flexibility and collaboration. She uses evidence-based methods including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness approaches, solution-focused techniques, and family systems work to help clients identify and adopt healthier behaviors they choose to keep. Gala aims to create a non-judgmental, safe space where clients can be supported, inspired, and motivated to make lasting change and live more fulfilling lives.
