About Pat Gallagher:

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to help people overcome the obstacles to leading fuller, richer lives. I am a caring, experienced therapist trained in a range of different treatment methods that can help people overcome difficulties from the past, resolve internal conflicts, and deal more successfully with life’s challenges.

I specialize in helping people heal from trauma. I am experienced in dealing with childhood traumas, including physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and emotional deficits, as well as more recent events such as accidents, rape and other frightening experiences. I use a variety of techniques including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and psychodynamic psychotherapy to help people heal from these experiences.

I also provide individual and group consultation to therapists seeking to expand and enhance their knowledge of EMDR and to integrate EMDR, Somatic Experiencing and other experiential techniques into their work.
