Brendan GalleryProfessional Counseling Intern

We all experience life in our own unique way and have our own story to tell, and yours is worth hearing! I firmly believe that each and every individual at their core is worthy of acceptance, compassion, connection, & healing, and this journey looks different for everyone.

My name is Brendan, and I am dedicated to supporting individuals on their personal journeys of self-discovery, empowerment, and growth. I specialize in working with teens & adolescents, young adults, and adults alike in coming of age challenges, feeling stuck, or with working through stressful life transitions. I feel strongly that we all hold the wisdom, creativity, and solutions for our own unique journeys within us, as we are the experts in our own lives.
However, life is complex, challenging, and ever-evolving. We all struggle at times and may fall out of balance, or experience debilitating anxiety, depression, self-limiting beliefs, relationship challenges, daily functioning struggles, guilt, or shame. I am here, without judgment, to meet you exactly where you are at and to support you through any of these challenges along your personal journey towards your most peaceful, authentic and fulfilling life!

As a Student Therapist pursuing my Clinical Mental Health Master’s Degree at Adams State University, I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities all from a humanistic client-centered approach. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), various Mindfulness-Based therapies, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Strengths-Based and Solutions-Focused techniques, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, and Existential Counseling. I also support individuals working through addiction or in recovery, dealing with anger management, or general men’s issues.

As a Yoga and Mindfulness instructor I have found a liberating connection between the mind and body. Grounding breathing techniques, gentle movement, and reflection on our thought patterns can be incorporated into sessions. I also practice Wellness Life Coaching, and can provide a variety of solutions-focused and goal oriented strategies towards holistic wellness as all aspects of our lives are interconnected.

I look forward to collaborating with you, and you ARE ready to take the next step on your wellness journey!
