Dr. Michael Galvin I have over 40 years of experience as a psychologist with a wide variety of problems, first in a mental health center, and then in private practice. I have taught and trained therapists in three universities and also worked in executive coaching. I am now mostly retired, but still do a fair amount of training and consulting, and like to see a few clients. I studied quite a few of our traditional therapy methods and practiced them for many years, and I was always adopting what I thought was better. Then I discovered two approaches which impressed me as more effective than anything I had seen before: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Energy Psychology, and I now specialize in Energy Psychology. These methods have now been around for a couple of decades, are backed by a large body of research, and are producing rapid and lasting results for people. They can be applied to almost any condition and are especially effective with anxiety- and trauma-related issues. I would be happy to talk with you about getting the help you need.

Hi, and thank you for checking out my profile! I am the Director of Western Slope Psychological Services in Colorado, and I am the host and creator of the Peace, Love, & Psychology podcast (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2223218). I have worked as a Clinical Psychologist in several different settings with a wide variety of clients. I have worked for a community college district, where I saw students for therapy, trained interns to work with students, and administered programs for Veterans, Disabled Students and LGBT Students. I have worked in mental health clinics and in clinics for patients with chronic pain and illness. I have specialized in working with people who have been exposed to traumatic experiences. Throughout my career, I have worked with people who may never have been in therapy before, and so I excel at explaining psychological concepts in ways people can understand and apply in their own lives. My approach therapeutically is client-centered, so I deeply respect the autonomy and dignity of my patients. I strive to provide a space that is accepting, non-judgmental and solution-oriented. I am trained in and tend to use evidence-based interventions that are cognitive-behavioral, cognitive, or mindfulness oriented. We will work together to help you identify your goals for therapy and develop approaches for achieving them. My ultimate goal for you is for you to learn how to better manage the challenges in your life and to feel empowered to live the life you truly want for yourself. Through our work together, you will receive the support and tools you need to live your best life—let’s get started!

I believe our choices are deeply influenced by the information we have at any given moment. This “information” is derived from how we interpret our life experiences, forming a narrative that defines who we are. When this narrative becomes unhelpful or fails to bring us comfort, it can lead to a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction. My aim is to offer clients a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where we can examine how past experiences may be hindering your ability to enjoy life fully. Together, we can identify effective coping strategies, explore new options, and set meaningful goals. As a licensed professional counselor and addictions counselor with national certification, I have extensive training in EMDR, DeTur, Addiction Counseling, CBT, DBT, Existential therapy, Somatic therapy, and Gestalt therapy. My years of lived experience complement my professional skills, enriching the support I provide. Having transitioned to counseling as a second career, I have a diverse background that has deepened my appreciation for individuals with complex histories. I am dedicated to respecting your individuality, religious beliefs, cultural background, and sexual orientation. Your journey is unique, and I’m here to help you navigate it with care and understanding.

I am a therapist, licensed in Colorado, with a specialization in international disaster psychology from the University of Denver. My academic training has equipped me with the expertise to work with individuals and communities affected by traumatic events, acute and chronic civil conflict, natural disasters, and health-related pandemics. As a member of a Muindi family from Kenya and coming from an Asian (Indian) background, I understand the complexities of cultural diversity and its impact on mental health. My personal experience as part of a religious minority, compounded by having LGBTQ+ family members, has given me insight into the intersection of culture, religion, and sexual orientation. With 5 years of professional work experience, I have successfully helped clients navigate stress and anxiety, LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma and abuse, and depression. I am dedicated to creating a safe and open environment where clients can freely express their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.
