Getting to know Dr. Shannon Gallina

What Will Our Therapy Sessions Be Like? The bond you form with your therapist is the most important part of counseling. You need to feel safe and accepted to do the work that leads to healing. This is the foundation of any effective counseling approach, so I make sure you know I respect you and honor your experiences. If you feel safe and respected, you’ll be able to work on the key issues that brought you to therapy and find a better future. How I Approach Psychological Counseling with My Clients I use a combination of approaches—all shaped by a foundation in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Therapy. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, which informs my practice. Thoughts shape how you feel and act—and sometimes your feelings and actions shape your thoughts. I use mindfulness exercises to help you become aware of your thoughts and feelings—then we use cognitive-behavioral techniques to examine and adjust those holding you back. CBT and certain mindfulness approaches are evidence-based practices—they’re consistent, measurable, and effective for depression, anxiety, and relationship and family issues—helping you face key issues from a position of strength. A few other things you should know: You matter. I genuinely care about my clients and their well-being, which shapes how I run my practice. I’m accessible. It’ll take work. Therapy isn’t magic. I’ll assign work, and together we’ll confront hard truths and feelings. But I’m here with you, and it’ll help you make big changes. Our First Counseling Session & Beyond Usually, a crisis brings a person into therapy—you’re dealing with something distressing. You’ve had enough. We’ll start by giving you tools so you know what to do the moment you feel overwhelmed.
