Getting to know Scott Gallo
Hi everyone, and thank you for taking the time to learn about my professional experience. I completed graduate studies in Human Development and Psychology at Harvard University, focusing primarily on challenges faced by the LGBTQ community in relationships and society as a whole. Additionally, I earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Cambridge College. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Master Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in the State of Florida, practicing as a psychotherapist for over 17 years. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing a wide range of challenges, including addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substance use, and difficulties coping with past traumatic experiences.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Honestly..Are you feeling a bit skeptical about the whole therapy thing? Does the thought of someone asking you "How does that make you feel?" make you uneasy? If you know in your heart you need some help but dread a stuffy, awkward conversation about your life with some stranger, I understand and I'm probably your guy. I specialize in helping people who appreciate a straightforward, approach but still want to feel understood and supported. I'll be here to help you find some clarity and direction in your life - no judgment, no psychobabble, no BS.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
While I have been trained in many different styles and “theories,” my helping approach is fairly straight forward and draws on many different traditions: In my view, there is no doubt that what we have experienced in the past shapes who we are and how we see ourselves, others and the world. Therapy is a process of connecting the dots between where we have been and how those experiences influence our thinking and behavior today. Often, our past experiences have us thinking and acting in ways that are irrational and self-defeating, causing problems in all areas of our lives. I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and unconditionally supportive space for folks to share who they are and what they have been through. I partner with them in taking what we might call a “therapeutic microscope” to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that accompany the circumstances of their lives, supporting them in reinforcing what works and finding alternatives to what does not.
When we meet for the first time, I would like to spend a few minutes to get a general idea of some of the struggles you're having, then I will likely gather some more information about your background and history. By the end of our time together in our first meeting, we will have come up with some solid and specific goals and objectives for your treatment, and hopefully, a plan to meet again in the near future.
