Christina Gallardo (She/Her)

My therapeutic style is warm, supportive and encouraging. I use a nonjudgmental approach focused on empowering you to make changes in your life. My approach is rooted in the understanding of how systemic inequality impacts those of us with marginalized identities. We each have unique experiences and needs and one therapeutic approach will not work for everyone. I will work to understand you and your goals for our time together. Together we will determine what steps you need to take to get where you want to be. Painful experiences and overwhelming emotions can leave you feeling helpless and out of control. My goal is to teach you tools to regain your sense of control and learn how to trust yourself. I focus on helping you identify your strengths and makes changes in your life.

I believe that we all have innate strength and potential but sometimes need help finding those things within ourselves. As your therapist, I will help you identify the patterns and beliefs that are limiting you. I will also help you process and work through experiences from the past that are impacting your life today. I’m an experienced therapist and have spent the last 15 years helping people heal. Being a therapist is more than just a job; I consider it an honor to help my clients overcome difficulties and move into a place of healing. I have dedicated my life to helping others overcome painful experiences, manage emotions and find healing.
