COUPLES & FAMILIES

Colleen Gallagher, is a licensed Integrative Psychotherapist - she combines Mindfulness and Mental Health with Relationship therapy working with both couples and families.
As a Couples therapist, Colleen uses a developmental and Attachment-based model and IPNB (an interpersonal and relational approach). She helps couples with issues such as infidelity, financial discord, intimacy, parenting differences, communication, and family issues. Couples learn both their own and partner’s emotional needs, skills to help repair rupture and tools for working with vulnerability, differing attachment styles, authenticity, respect and kindness and the neurobiology of relationships. She helps each partner in the dyad develop mindful communication, compassion, connection, and empathy within the relationship promoting growth, communication and healthy change.
