 Rachel Gallo  LMFT

​Children, Adolescents & Adults


Hi, my name is Rachel Gallo.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT).


I received my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapyfrom Appalachian State University.  

Prior to earning my Master’s, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public and Interpersonal Communication from North Carolina State University. 


I have over six years of experience as a therapeutic treatment provider for children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families dealing with mental and emotional disorders and other relational and behavioral problems. 

Therapy can seem intimidating, and I take pride in providing a therapeutic environment characterized by warmth, sincerity, and safety.


I am an avid believer in human resilience, even in the face of adverse life circumstances and events. 


I strive to assist my clients in increasing their self-awareness, realizing barriers to joy, self-compassion, and change, and developing healthy practices and ways of thinking that will best promote their overall well-being. 


I utilize the evidence-based therapy models of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) with my clients. 

I am a fully rostered Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT Certified), and received my training through the North Carolina Child Treatment Program. 


In addition to these models, my practice is influenced by Compassion-Focused, Solution-Focused, and Systemic Therapy approaches.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Child and Adult Anxiety and Depression
  • Coping with Grief and Loss
  • Childhood Trauma
  • Children and Adolescents coping with new and challenging transitions (parental divorce, moving, starting a new school, etc.).
  • Christian Counseling
  • Children and Adults suffering from a poor sense of self, shame, and low self-esteem.
  • Newly engaged couples, preparing for marriage

 
Other Considerations * Safe Space for LGBTQ+ individuals and families.
