Getting to know Marcia Gallion

Hi there, I'm Marcia! Hi, I am Marcia Colette Gallion, LCSW, and I use my middle name, "Colette." I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from San Francisco State University. I believe in helping clients understand and resolve their internal conflicts to lead a happier, fuller life. My approach My approach is eclectic, but I value insight-oriented treatment. Additionally, I am open to helping clients problem-solve issues that limit their happiness and growth. I tend to draw on Carl Rogers’ client-centered approach and help clients learn how their emotions color their perceptions. My focus I am experienced in working with the elderly, LGBT+ clients, those who were abused, and those who deal with depression and other mood disorders, racial trauma, and substance use or long-term mental illness. My communication style I find these issues are treatable in the warm, safe, teletherapeutic environment that I create and maintain. My journey to therapy I have been interested in psychology since childhood, but I was afraid to work in the field because I had always heard that the San Francisco Bay Area had too many therapists. The college counselor I saw helped me pursue my passion. This led me to value the work even more and to remain in this rewarding field for over thirty years. My goals for you In the early stages of our work together, we will clarify your goals and expectations of therapy and how I will help you. We will work together to achieve your goals and review and reformulate them as necessary. My first session with you Our first session will be about getting to know each other, completing the necessary paperwork, and clarifying policies.
