Flava LaFern Galbreath, LICSW, MSW, CGP

Flava is an “out-of-the-box” therapist who identifies as a human being with a passion to spur along the growth/change process in small sustainable increments with her love of the outdoors and animals for anyone who may not be noticed/valued. Her Hoosier roots show strengths of authenticity, unconditional support and flexibility.

With experiences at an opiate treatment center, in-home family therapy and telehealth support, Flava balances therapy with longtime careers in refereeing women’s lacrosse, basketball and field hockey as well as in landscaping. Her recent MSW degree from Salem State University includes being a Certified Grief Professional (CGP) and supports figuring out the grieving process.

Flava describes her support as eclectic with nods to the metaphysical and utilizes Motivational Interviewing (MI), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
