About Trista Galvin
This isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.
You’ll feel it when we speak; the steadiness of someone who’s walking the path (or the spiral, as I like to call it).
The calm of someone who doesn’t flinch when your soul tells the truth.
The intuition of someone who listens between the lines and reads the room by feel.
I’m not here to “fix” you.
I’m here to help you reclaim the steadiness that’s always been yours.
You're not looking for someone with the answers.
You're looking for someone who helps you trust your own.

Where This Work Comes From
Therapist. Mystic. Legacy Reclaimer.
This didn’t begin as a method, a brand, or a movement. It began as curiosity.
It began with an awareness of my habits — the ones shaping my relationship with myself, and with everyone else.
I realized I was still showing up as an older version of myself. I had done a lot of work, but sometimes those old ways still took the lead.
Often it was only after the fact, in the quiet of reflection, that I could see it clearly: the behavior wasn’t coming from my present self, but from the part of me that had learned to protect, to perform, or to disappear.
Creating what I longed for would require honesty; about what I was doing, what I believed, and what I was avoiding.
So, I started to trace my patterns — to understand where they came from, and where they no longer belonged.
And from that work, Second Generation was born.
If any part of this mirrors your story, I invite you to begin your own Second Generation spiral.

What Second Generation Means
This is soul work for those who already survived.
Second Generation doesn’t mean by bloodline.
It means by consciousness.
It’s for people who:
Got sober but still feel empty.
Left the toxic marriage but still don’t trust themselves.
They’ve done the work but still don’t trust their own voice.
Outgrew survival strategies, but don’t know what comes next.
This is for the part of you that knows: “I’ve already lived one life. Now I want to choose the one I actually belong to.”
If that’s you — if you’re ready for the next chapter — let’s talk.

What Guides Me
Therapist meets Mystic.
Practical meets Sacred.
This is work that honors both the soul and the psyche.
It’s reverent, but never rigid. Sacred, but never sanitized.
I’m grounded in clinical training — and I also trust dreams, listen to the body, and read between the lines.
Whether I’m holding space as a therapist, a coach, or a guide, my work is rooted in presence and pattern recognition.
I don’t believe people need to be fixed. I believe they need to be remembered — by themselves.
I don’t believe you have to fully “heal your shadow” before you can lead.
You are already leading — the question is, from which part of you?
Whether you’re looking for a therapist (NJ only), coach, or guide — I invite you to connect.

You Might Know Me from
(And if not, welcome.)
If my work has crossed your path, it might’ve been through:
Second Generation Therapy™ – the framework I use with clients and clinicians to reclaim self-trust, integrity, and soul alignment.
Tiny Things for the Second Generation Soul – my writing on reclaiming everyday magic, one brave truth at a time.
My weekly reflections – essays shared by readers who are walking their own spiral home.
However you found me, you’re here now — and that matters.

This Isn’t Just a Practice.
It’s a Movement.
Second Generation Work™ isn’t just a new kind of therapy.
It’s a relational revolution — for those of us who came from chaos, quieted our needs, and became what others needed us to be.
We’re choosing a new way.
Not just for ourselves — but for the people we lead, love, and raise.
And it starts here.
