Gillian Galdy
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)
I provide gender-affirming, sex-positive, and anti-racist counseling to couples, families, and individuals. My door is open to people of all orientations,
I practice person-centered, mindfulness-based, multiculturally competent psychotherapy. I work from a Relational/Cultural theoretical orientation, meaning that I believe the therapeutic relationship is a key to healing within treatment. Additionally, I practice from a HAES-approach (Health at Every Size) when engaging in body issues, as well as eating and feeding disorders. I incorporate interventions from Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), among others, as appropriate to your needs as an individual, couple, or family. This integrative approach allows for addressing your needs and goals in a fluid, empathetic, and collaborative way. My areas of specialty include relationship issues and transitions, gender and sexuality exploration, sexual intimacy concerns, spiritual/existential issues, eating and feeding disorders, life transitions, and trauma (including sexual assault and domestic violence recovery).
