Willow Gallenz, LCSW

Willow Gallenz, LCSW

Psychotherapist
VA
Hi, My name is Willow Gallenz, and I am a licensed therapist with 15 ½ years of clinical experience as an LCSW and 18 years as a CSAC (Certified Substance Abuse Counselor), working with a wide range of populations and tailoring treatment to their specific needs. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Georgia and served as an at-risk youth volunteer with the U.S. Peace Corps in Jamaica. I have experience helping clients manage stress and anxiety, depression, military-related issues, LGBTQ+ concerns, trauma and abuse, domestic violence, panic disorders and attacks, as well as coping with grief and loss. I take pride in advocating for LGBTQIA+ individuals, a commitment I have maintained since the early days of the HIV/AIDS crisis, including in my most recent in-person role as an LCSW at a local jail.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work hard at building a therapeutic relationship with my clients as I find that to be paramount to successful treatment. I work from where they are in each session, using their experiences since the last session to drive the treatment for that session. I view clients as the experts of their own stories and work to have them leave sessions with me feeling empowered and with tools to positively impact their lives

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
