About Francis Joseph Gallego

I am licensed in California with more than 20 years of professional work experience (6 in New York, 3 in Hawaii and 11 + in California). I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, LGBTQI-related issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I also believe in the importance of cultural humility, diversity, inclusion and dismantling oppression and how it impacts our lives. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling life and a life worth living takes courage. I am here to support you in that process and hold space. I also have clinical and therapeutic experience working with women, people impacted by chronic illness (cancer, HIV/AIDS), communities of color; as well as working on processing inter-generational trauma and how it impacts individuals and families.
