Getting to know Gamaliel Polanco

Hi there, I'm Gamaliel! Walking through life's journey can be difficult. Two are better than one, lest one falls the other can help them up. I'm honored that you would allow me to walk by your side. My focus By focusing on what is going right, I help clients identify those skills that can be generalized to the areas that they are struggling in. My approach I believe that recovery is possible, so I approach therapy from a recovery, strengths based approach. My communication style I walk half a step behind my clients and help them move forward one step at a time. My journey to mental healthcare Since I was little I knew I wanted to help others. Growing up in the inner city only intensified that passion. I truly believe this is my calling in life. My goals for you I help clients set realistic, time bound, achievable goals so that each session moves them closer to graduating from treatment. Our first session Our first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. It’s normal to feel nervous—therapy is a process we’ll build together over time. We’ll move at your pace, one step at a time, and I’ll be here to guide you throughout.
