"The LifeQuake Doctor"

Dr. Toni Galardi is a licensed psychotherapist, professional speaker, advice columnist and author of The LifeQuake Phenomenon: How To Thrive (Not Just Survive) During Times of Personal and Global Upheaval. Her ground-breaking philosophy has led to the development of a clientele of individuals and executives who are looking to create both positive change and inner stability, career advancement, better relationship skills, and effective crisis management during stressful transitions.

With humor and grace she refers to herself as “the poster child for the change impaired” because it took three near fatal experiences for her to figure out there was another way to prepare for change. She has dedicated her life to helping you manage change with more fun, clarity, and less stress.

In addition to her speaking engagements, Dr. Toni has a media presence nationally in both print and broadcast. As the advice columnist in Counselor Magazine she is called “Ask the LQ Doctor.”  She has been a guest expert on change management and crisis intervention with a wide range of regional, national and international media outlets, including Good Day LA, FOX NEWS, ABC, AOL, Health Magazine, New York Post, More Magazine, Counselor Magazine, the Neil Cavuto Show, Good Day San Diego, “Healthy Advice” with Dr. Gene Steiner on KRLA, “Your Health Matters” with Dr. Tony O’Donnell on KXAM, “The Aware Show” with Lisa Garr on KPFK and “Inner Vision” with Dr. Nita Vallens on KPFK.

Dr. Toni received her Ph.D. in psychology and organizational development from Barrington University, her Master of Arts in marriage, family, and child counseling from Chapman University and Bachelor of Science in public administration from the University of Arizona.
