Hello and welcome to BetterHelp, I'm glad you're here! I'm Emily Gallagher LISW-S and I'm licensed in Ohio to provide therapy. I specialize in working with women, couples and parents affected by trauma. As much as you're willing to, we can explore how past trauma is playing out in your current difficulties in relationships, at work and personally. I've worked with many struggling marriages and slowly I've seen some marriages change. A new hope could well up in your marriage and family soon. I also specialize in working with women individually, who are experiencing anxiety. Now more than ever women have been experiencing anxiety symptoms and hopefully together, we can alleviate these symptoms. I am married and have four school aged children. I've been working with women, couples and parents for 18 years. *PLEASE NOTE I ONLY HAVE DAYTIME AVAILABILITY ON WEDNESDAYS & THURSDAYS FOR VIDEO OR CHATTING SESSIONS. If daytime doesn't work with your schedule please match with another therapist. I'm hoping you'll like the platform of Betterhelp and you can reach out to me anytime when it's convenient for you and I'll get back to you within 24 hours. I'm looking forward to working together to make life better for you very soon.

Life is hard. Full stop. Sometimes we need help - an extended ear or friendly face to continue to deal with our daily stressors or big life changes. Taking the first step to seeking help takes courage. Let’s take a moment to celebrate this first achievement toward a happier, healthier you! We are often hardest on ourselves, and I believe that focusing inward and allowing ourselves grace and kindness can go a long way. I also believe we all need space to process what we are thinking and feeling, though we often find reasons to neglect this need. We are too busy, other things become a priority, or perhaps we believe we don’t deserve the time and energy for ourselves. My toolbox is equipped with a range of therapeutic approaches, depending on each person’s needs and interests. I primarily utilize techniques that help develop skills to cope with life’s challenges. However, in working together I hope to help you with setting goals, finding and maintaining motivation, setting healthy boundaries, and finding sustainable balance. I specialize in expressive arts therapy (visual art, music, drama, movement, writing), though participating in expressive arts is not required and will not be pushed. Most of my experience is in crisis response and providing care to individuals needing intense levels of care in full-day programs. I believe that therapy goes beyond theory and textbooks. I have found that my influences have come from both inside and outside of the field of mental health. As a registered expressive arts therapist (REAT) and board certified registered art therapist (ATR-BC), I am inspired by Natalie Rogers, Shaun McNiff, and Cathy Malchiodi. As a mental health practitioner, I am heavily influenced by Carl Rogers, Irvin Yalom, and Jean Piaget. As a human being, I look to Fred Rogers, Tim Gunn, and Bob Ross for modeling of being kind to others, being kind to ourselves, and finding ways to reframe situations and overcome challenges. I will work with you to meet your needs and help you reach your goals, however, if at anytime you or I feel that it’s not a good fit, I am happy to help you connect with someone else. I am available for 30-45 minute live sessions Monday through Saturday. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
