Humanistic Therapists in L4C

As a therapist, I am dedicated to guiding you on your path to healing and personal growth. My approach is rooted in the fundamental principles of non-judgment, empathy, and compassion. In the initial stages of our therapeutic journey, my primary focus is on creating a strong foundation built on trust and collaboration. I am committed to providing a safe and nurturing space where you can freely share your experiences and stories without fear of judgment.

Life can present many different challenges. Some days can be more difficult than others. If you are experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, loss or loneliness, I am here for support. Whether the challenges include past pain, present stressors or concerns for your future, I can help you navigate through your days, explore ways to regain control of your life and create a better future with healthy relationships. I believe in every individual’s intrinsic worth and innate ability to tap into their strengths and rise out of life’s challenges. I am here to help you find your joy again.

I am a Psychotherapy provider with over 30 years of experience in both hospital and community settings with the assessment and treatment of a wide variety of issues impacting adults and youth such as: anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, psychosis, couple and family issues, interpersonal difficulties, anger management, work/school and legal issues.

I work with children and adults who are experiencing conflict or distress associated with loss, transition or change; who may find some feelings or experiences too overwhelming or difficult to communicate using words alone, or for those who may avoid feelings or confuse issues in their use of words. The therapy I provide may suit for those who suffer from problems that stem from body related issues, concern about body image, or issues with trust. Some of my clients have impairment or trauma that may hinder the capacity for them or others to acknowledge and understand personal areas of strength and weakness.

Do you feel ...overwhelmed? ...numb? ...stressed? ...anxious? ...depressed? ...angry? ...hopeless? ...ashamed? ...lost? ...haunted by the past? ...alone? At times we can become stuck in these painful emotions, and we desperately wish to avoid them. We temporarily block them or distract ourselves only for them to return with a vengeance. Instead, when we turn towards them to hear and heal what is underneath, the painful emotions can be truly transformed. In this way, we can use emotions as a guide and overcome the obstacles in reaching our full potential.

Taking responsibility for ourselves and our experience of life begins with embracing our trials and tribulations, and facing them head on. This fosters a connection with the source of our power that builds resilience to manage whatever may come. Developing the resourcefulness required to fashion a life that is fulfilling and supportive of our overall well-being is an ever-evolving process, and can be more clearly navigated with the help of a trusted professional. Using a person-centred, culturally-, and trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower people to improve their quality of life through organic and systematic processes.

My intention, using a client centered approach, is to empower so you can self monitor with self awareness. I can assist you in coping through a variety of situational loss circumstances such as health decline, family illness, death, job loss, financial loss, aging, divorce – with a specialty in assisting caregivers of family members living with Alzheimer’s, dementia or other ongoing serious condition. I've written 2 books specifically to assist family caregivers & the professionals who service them, "Caregiving with Strength" and "Keeping It Together: How to Cope as a Family Caregiver without Losing Your Sanity", a hands-on guide.

Hi, my name is Chrissy Gallo - RP (Qualifying), MACP, CYC, SSW. Sometimes, our experiences can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and dysregulated. These emotions can impact our relationships with others and our relationships with ourselves. I encourage therapeutic growth by nurturing the inner child, making peace with the inner critic, and reconnecting clients with their authentic sense of self. I value the healing impact of our parts being seen, heard, validated, and accepted. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), Person-Centered, Self-Compassion, Existential, Narrative, Strength-based, Attachment-based, and Polyvagal Theory.

Sometimes we are mentally injured by events or accidents in our lives; they can cause shallow or deep wounds and trauma to our emotions. In some cases, we scratch our wounds unconsciously and worsen them instead of accepting and healing them compassionately. Uncompassionate focus on our injuries or pain can negatively impact our quality of life. They may bring stress, anxiety, depression, and other uncomfortable feelings. Counselling can soothe wounds and ease pain. I try to help you heal those wounds and improve your health. I will be there with you throughout this journey by listening to you and gaining insight together.

If it feels like things just aren't clicking—or perhaps that nothing is going right—I'm glad you've found your way here. In our work together, we won't shy away from the tough issues.

Mindfulness based psychotherapy is a powerful approach to healing that is based on the ancient wisdom of how to work with our own minds. Mindfulness is defined by paying attention, with intention, in the present moment, without judgment. Clients who practice mindfulness skills share that their lives are more positive, they have an enhanced sense of well-being and better relationships all around. In Mindfulness Psychotherapy, I work with clients to support their development of moment-by-moment awareness by teaching a variety of skills and techniques, which will aid in their development.
