Getting to know Parisa Gallinger

Parisa Gallinger, Psy.D., LMFT I earned my doctorate in Marital and Family Therapy from Alliant International University and am certified by the California Board as a marriage and family therapist working with individuals, families, and couples. My mission is to create a supportive space where we can face fears with compassion, courageously embrace openness, and find relief in human connections. Our sense of identity can be in crisis due to the burdensome societal expectations placed on us. So much of what I love about my work as a therapist and faculty member at the Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology, where I teach clinical psychology graduate courses, is getting to know people and helping them through life, one step at a time, no matter who they are or where they are on their path.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Change happens symbiotically in relationships. Therapy is the link to starting the healing process. I promise to bring dignity, intellect, compassion, humor, and transparency into each session. I am curious about understanding your experiences, challenges faced, and meanings made. We will work collaboratively to connect you with your values and preferences. I work with diverse individuals, couples, families, and groups, cultivating growth and healing by building relationships shaped by meaning-making
