About Angie Galyean
I help women break free from relationship patterns that keep them feeling small
You deserve to feel confident in who you are and secure in your relationships. If you've been through emotional manipulation, people-pleasing cycles, or relationships that left you questioning your worth, you're in the right place.
My Commitment to You
A Little About Me
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 12 years of experience, and I have a deep passion for helping women discover their strength. My practice, Renovated Heart Counseling, exists because I believe every woman deserves to feel valued, heard, and free to be her authentic self in relationships.
I know what it's like to have anxious thoughts swirling in your head, desperate to hear something hopeful. I understand the exhaustion that comes from constantly questioning your decisions or walking on eggshells around someone you care about. This personal understanding, combined with my clinical expertise, allows me to meet you exactly where you are.
The Reason Behind the Name
Why Did I Choose Renovated Heart Counseling?
Therapy is a lot like renovating a home. It's not about fixing what's broken, but rebuilding what's worth saving. We start by walking through your inner house together, noticing the cracks, the clutter, and the rooms you've been avoiding. I know it can feel overwhelming at first. But with curiosity and courage, we can create big shifts. You can start to see what can be repaired, what can be released, and what truly deserves to stay.
Sometimes the work means tearing down old walls. The ones built from hurt, shame, or survival. Other times, it's about reinforcing your foundation instead. Your boundaries, your self-worth, your ability to trust. These are what hold everything else up and make everything else possible. Together, we rebuild piece by piece, and gradually, your life begins to feel like home again.
Not perfect, but authentic. Lived in. Loved in. That's the heart of what I do. I'm here to help you renovate from the inside out, to heal your heart, mind, and life so they feel like truly yours again.
Passion for Healing
Why This Work Matters to Me
I've always wanted to help people relieve their suffering, no matter how big or small. Throughout my career, I've seen how individual and family lives can be destroyed by abuse and unhealthy relationship patterns. I've also witnessed the incredible transformation that happens when someone recognizes their worth and finds the courage to create change.
I consider it an honor to be part of someone's journey from feeling scared, vulnerable, or invisible to discovering their value and feeling confident enough to move toward a life that feels safe, happy, and peaceful. There's nothing more powerful than watching someone realize they don't have to settle for relationships that diminish them.

Supporting Your Healing Journey
Who I Love Working With
I'm passionate about working with women 18 and older who have been in unhealthy or abusive relationships with intimate partners. These experiences often leave women feeling emotionally manipulated, confused about their self-worth, and uncertain about their strength.
Common experiences my clients bring:
- Feeling stuck in cycles of unhealthy relationship patterns
- Struggling with low self-worth and people-pleasing tendencies
- Difficulty setting or maintaining boundaries without guilt
- Anxiety in relationships, constantly worrying about others' reactions
- Processing trauma from past intimate relationships
- Wanting to heal and grow beyond just surviving
I also work with women who recognize these patterns early and want to build skills for healthier future relationships.
Compassionate, Empowering Support
What You Can Expect When Working With Me
I want women to know they don't have to settle for relationships where they feel unsafe, unloved, or voiceless. There is no darkness you carry that will push away my desire to help you. I've worked with people from all walks of life, and I maintain a non-judgmental approach because I see the person, not just their circumstances.
Compassion and empathy: I approach every person with genuine care and understanding, recognizing that everyone's journey is different.
Working with integrity: I'm honest about what therapy can and can't do, and I'm committed to providing you with evidence-based treatment.
Empowering your strength: My goal is to help you discover the strength you already have within you and learn to trust your own judgment again.
Creating authentic connections: I want to help you build stronger, more meaningful relationships, starting with the relationship you have with yourself.
With me, you get a space where you're safe to explore all your emotions and think about life and relationships in ways that may feel unfamiliar. Most importantly, I want you to feel like there's hope to finally be free.
