Erin K. Gallagher, LMFT
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Integral Counseling Psychology
I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Fransisco in 2016.
I am a person who follows and studies patterns, who listens with emphatic empathy and genuine care for living beings and who has a passion for making meaning of challenging, frustrating, confusing feelings, thoughts and events. It is only because I have experienced and faced a lot of my own struggles, that I can confidently be who I am with people as they courageously face their challenges. I strive to keep facing what is difficult, learning and growing from that place, as long as I live.
I want to also share that I am dedicated to my work. It is inspiring and asks me to show-up fully as my whole Self. I am also dedicated to being authentic, honest and open-minded.
If you are reading this, and you would like explore what guided support looks like with me, I encourage you to reach out and discover what is possible.
