Hello, I'm Venice Gallegos and for 40 years I've had the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families through their work, considering this work joyful labor on my client's behalf. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a trained Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), I am ready to assist with many aspects of anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relational work, individual healing and awareness work, drug and alcohol challenges, work related challenges, sense of self and trauma work. I invite all clients; straight, genderqueer, nonbinary and trans to consider me as your potential therapist.
My therapeutic perspective starts with our collaboration, starting in our first contact; exploring history, your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and their impact on you while listening for your initially identified stuck places, fears, hopes and potential goals, helps us establish the best ways we'll begin to work together.
I have a reputation for being an effective therapist, a helpful teacher and coach. Many of my clients, having successfully completed an initial 'round' of therapy, have repeatedly returned over the years. The therapeutic alliance we build begins your trust of this shared work. My selfcare includes gardening, baking and playing with my dogs. What about you?

I work with both Sondermind and Headway so I take most insurances. Each platform has their built-in billing system and I get to help if issues arise for you. In my experience, their processes work well, enabling this process to diminish barriers to care

Clients often report that our work helps them discover much about how they get in their own way. We often explore sense of self, attachment style and impact, healthy boundaries and relationships, how to trust healthy change and how to move forward after trauma or betrayal. We can also stay focused on specific strategy-development for work or home. Clients usually report improvements within weeks.

We start with a conversation, exploring your world while I talk about how I work and what you might expect. I pull from my eclectic mix of CBT approaches, mindfulness practice for clarity and relief, DBT skill development because we all have a limit on our insight of self and the most self-kind ways to grow toward it. Also, let's talk about what your growing up years taught you.
