Getting to know James Gallagher

Hi there, I'm James! Hi, I'm Jamie, James F. Gallagher, Jr., LMFT #121527. I'm a licensed holistic depth psychotherapist who uses client-centered approaches unique to each person. I enjoy seeing the beautiful essence of people and helping them remove obstacles to being their kind and loving authentic selves. My approach My therapeutic approaches vary with the individual client, and a 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. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic and Client-Centered psychology, Existential and Phenomenological psychology, Object Relations, Family Systems, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Informed psychology, and Narrative psychology. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from John F. Kennedy University, which laid the foundation for my holistic and integrative style. My focus I have worked extensively with adult individuals and couples from diverse 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. For couples, I specialize 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 communication style My primary focus is 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 set an easy and comfortable environment and speak familiarly with empathy and understanding.
