ELAINE GALLAS, MACP, LPC
Mental Health Clinician
(she/her)
I use an integrated therapeutic approach tailoring each session to your needs. Everyone experiences challenges in life and it is important to remember
that you are not alone. Therapy is a wonderful way to process thoughts and emotions related to these struggles. An important element of effective
therapy is feeling comfortable and safe expressing yourself and releasing your pain. It is my passion to help you embrace your strengths and
achieve your goals by guiding you on your own path of recovery and supporting your journey toward authentic self-discovery.
