Christine Gallo, LPC-IT

I work well with people who feel stuck and want to make a change.

Sometimes we are so embedded inside our challenges that we can’t see outside of them. That’s where therapy can help. Work with my clients often addresses themes like managing stress and anxiety, neurodiversity, parenting, relationship issues, caregiving, body-based challenges, and identity. Many clients are high achievers, have rich inner lives and active minds, and tend to plan ahead for better or worse.

As a therapist, I work with intention. There is power in examining who we are and whether that is who we want to continue to be. That process can clarify a more intentional and authentic life and purpose. I integrate existential questioning, mindfulness and language techniques to shift clients' inner talk to a new story that reflects strengths and ability to grow throughout life.

I am passionate about recognizing the effects of our environment on our wellbeing and depathologizing having a hard time in our increasingly complex world. There is no “normal” just as there is no one path through therapy. Everyone’s journey is as unique as their entire lived experience.

After a decade in the business world, I went back to complete a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Mount Mary University. I am currently working toward full licensure under the supervision of Jeni Everts Beier, LPC. I have additional training in perinatal mental health to honor the invisible struggle that many experience while hoping to build a family. I use trauma-informed and neurodevelopmental perspectives to help us integrate physical, emotional, and intellectual experiences. 

In my personal life, I enjoy gardening, reading, powerlifting, and thinking up goofy song parodies. An ideal day would be a walk through the farmer’s market with my family followed by relaxing in my backyard. 

We may be a good fit if you’re seeking a calming therapist who brings kindness, humor, appreciation, and authenticity to every session.
