Hi, I'm Jamie, James F. Gallagher, Jr., LMFT121527. I'm a licensed holistic depth psychotherapist who uses client-centered approaches unique to each person. I really enjoy seeing the beautiful essence of people and helping them remove the obstacles to being their kind and loving authentic selves. I have worked extensively and successfully with adult individuals and couples from a huge spectrum of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences and have an ease with becoming culturally attuned to clients.
I have expertise in helping individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, substance use issues, relationship issues, trauma and complex trauma, sexual orientation issues, and identity issues, to name a few.
For couples, I have expertise in pre-marital counseling, communication, and relationship issues, juggling kids and relationships. rupture and repair, and separation and divorce. Feel free to inquire further as this list is not exhaustive :)

My primary focus is on having the client feel safe and secure enough to be honest and forthcoming about their feelings and experiences, and to trust that I care. I set an easy and comfortable environment, and speak familiarly with empathy and understanding. I am attuned, observant, and direct while holding care and compassion.

My therapeutic approaches vary with the individual client, and the typical first session is about gaining a history of what it feels like to be you. Mindfulness and self-awareness play a big part in therapy with me, and my approaches and training include DBT, Internal Family Systems, Humanistic, and Client-Centered psychology.
