Female Therapists in Wellsville, NY

Taking new clients for telehealth and in office. With a focus on mental health and disabilities, I have supported individuals with autism, traumatic brain injury, anger issues, trauma background, borderline personality disorder, anxiety/depression and self-esteem issues. My approach is individual to each person, depending on what you want/need from your sessions. Clients can expect a confidential, non-judgmental and safe environment to work through challenges.

Hi! My name is Meghan Gallagher, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience. I am currently working via telehealth throughout New York State. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, and loss. My holistic practice is client and strength-based focused, and I utilize a range of evidence-based interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Mindfulness Interventions.

I am a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and I enjoy working with a variety of people and problems because I believe everyone is unique in their own way and therefore also needs individualized treatment modalities. I utilize interventions including EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness, Family and Couples Therapy, Play Therapy and others. If you are ready to start creating positive change in your life and need support in doing so, I'd love to be the one to help you reach your goals.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or having difficulty just getting through the day? Do you have concerns that your child or teen is struggling with tough emotions and you want to know how to help them? These are all thoughts that bring individuals to counseling. It can be a scary step to reach out to a stranger to talk about your innermost thoughts or to entrust your child's emotional care to someone you are not familiar with. I'd like to partner with you to discover what would help most and to guide emotionally healthy decisions. Visit my website using the link provided to schedule your first session.

I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for empathetic communication. I encourage respectful, but compassionate boundaries to build trust, while also being comforted with therapeutic listening skills and the confidence to best support my clients. I have experience with assessment and utilize evidence-based treatment practices and person-centered approach to care. I assist individuals with relationship issues, anxiety, grief, crisis intervention including suicide prevention, disaster and trauma counseling, and I strive to facilitate the maximum use of treatment to allow the highest level of independence possible.

I am encouraged that you have taken the first step to engage in the treatment process. This is a courageous act on your part. I know that it has not been easy to make this decision and I look forward to partnering with you as you embark on the treatment process. For over 40 years it has been my privilege to engage with individuals from all walks of life as they enter and travel though the treatment experience.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. My goal is to make individuals comfortable with the therapeutic process through a holistic and trauma-informed approach. Specializing in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), I help clients release beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that block growth and healing. Together, we may work on navigating life transitions, managing stress, and addressing past trauma. I support those dealing with grief and loss, chronic and terminal illness, and caregiver stress as we journey to hope and healing.

Is life kicking the crap out of you? Are you walking around constantly anticipating the worst-case scenario? Do you feel like you’re just scraping by or living in “survival mode”? Are your relationships suffering because of your mood? Does it feel like a struggle to work, eat, sleep or even function? If any of that resonates with you, counseling can be a proactive step towards resolution. None of us want to simply "get by." I'm here as a well-seasoned guide to help you sort through what is holding you back, break through any pesky old patterns and to get back to living a life that feels a bit more sparkly! Woohoo!

I approach each session with an open mind and without judgment. Creating a supportive space is very important to my work with clients and allows each session to count . I have worked with people from all walks of life and all levels of emotional and mental wellness. Over the last 14 years, most of my sessions included Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavior approaches, however I select the most appropriate clinical approach for each of my clients.

Everyone has those moments when they struggle to find solutions and make positive changes. Maybe you are ready to do the work, but feel intimidated by the idea of therapy (you, baring your soul while a stranger with a notepad occasionally says, “mhmm”). Therapy doesn’t have to feel like a one-sided conversation; it is really about working together as a team to achieve your goals. This is a space to let it all out; to cry and swear and laugh and, most importantly, learn to do something different! Come in. Sit down. Let’s get real.
