Emotion-Focused
Dr. Maureen J Gallagher
Psychologist, PhD
My name is Maureen Gallagher, and I am a Licensed Psychologist practicing telehealth in New York, New Jersey, and all PSYPACT states. I have been providing psychotherapy to adults for over twenty years.
Early in my work as a therapist, I noticed how often psychotherapy neglected the body, something my own experience told me was essential. I know firsthand how it feels to carry patterns that are hard to name, and how much changes when we learn to listen to the body with patience and compassion. That understanding shapes the way I sit with every client.
Over the years, my work has deepened through Somatic Experiencing, where I now serve as Faculty, and through Inner Relationship Focusing, which I teach. Both have shown me again and again that the body holds wisdom about what we need, and that healing unfolds most naturally when we meet ourselves with gentleness.
What I love most about this work is witnessing the moment someone begins to treat themselves with kindness, sometimes for the first time. I feel honored to accompany people as they discover a more positive relationship with themselves and a clearer sense of who they are becoming.
If you are curious about working together, I invite you to reach out. A brief conversation is often the easiest way to see if we are a good fit.

Dr. April Brown - Doctor of Intimacy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, NCC, CST,
"I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood, and supported, no matter where they are in life. Seeking therapy isn't a sign of weakness; it's a courageous step toward understanding yourself, healing from life's challenges, and building healthier relationships.
Through Cape Coral Therapists, Therapists in Sarasota, and my individual practice, my goal is to make meaningful mental health and relationship support more accessible.
Whether we connect in person or virtually, what matters most is creating a safe, compassionate space where you can be yourself, explore your emotions, and work toward the changes you want to see.
Remember, you don't have to have everything figured out before asking for help. Sometimes, the first step toward healing is simply allowing yourself to be supported."
