Danielle Gallagher

Counselor, LCSW

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work and a Master of Arts in Theology and Ministry from Boston College. My background also includes experience in corrections and addiction.

I believe therapy is a collaborative process aimed at improving overall quality of life and wellbeing. Everyone encounters challenges that can hold them back from living fully, and I see therapy as a safe space to recognize those barriers and begin working through them in a healthy way.

I work with adults and have a special passion for pastoral counseling, especially at the intersection of emotional and spiritual wellness. I greatly enjoy supporting individuals who are navigating religious trauma or confusion. I also help people address issues such as anger management, substance use, and transitions back into the community. My approach is rooted in growth, healing, and forward-looking action.

My Thoughts About Therapy

How Psychotherapy Can Help

Therapy is a place to work toward goals that enhance quality of life. It provides space to uncover areas that hold us back and build healthier ways to move forward. With guidance, individuals can develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and embrace change for a fuller, more balanced life.

My Approach to Therapy

I believe the most important factor in therapy is comfort and trust. Initial meetings may feel awkward, but it’s essential to feel heard and valued by your therapist. Therapy should be a safe space for honest feedback, acceptance, and collaboration.
