I strive to be unbiased and provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment using Integrative therapy techniques. I work with children, teens, and adults. I customize my approach with each client based upon their specific problems, their lifestyle and their support system. My therapy style helps to empower each individual by assisting them to identify faulty thinking patterns, while learning new strategies for a healthier life.

My name is Ieshy Gales, a licensed mental health, counselor practicing in the field of therapy for 15+ years. I have experience working with individuals with substance-abuse, school aged children and adolescents, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder, just a few name. I am passionate about working with individuals to help them release their full potential. I utilize a combination of traditional Psychotherapy modalities such Solution-focused (brief) therapy,
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with experiential techniques that are enjoyable where clients are active participants in their own treatment. I make strong effort in providing a safe, comfortable and non-threatening environment for those seeking help which enables them to open up and express their thoughts and feelings.
My therapeutic approach is holistic, which means physical and spiritual health is a huge component in helping individuals feel whole. I attempt therapeutic approaches that are integrative and solution-based on each client’s specific needs.
My career has been dedicated to working with individuals who have found themselves living a less than ideal life due to suffering with emotional, mental, or trauma symptoms. The anxiety, fatigue, and feelings of overwhelm are not trivial. It can affect everything in our lives - self-worth, relationships, career, physical and mental health and more. The past happens and it can keep us stuck in unhealthy beliefs and behaviors.
I am assisted by Bear, my 6-year-old, Keeshond who is a Registered Therapy Dog and NATIONAL Crisis Response Canine. Bear’s unconditional love and acceptance helps provide a calm and relaxed approach to our sessions which is especially helpful when working through issues from past traumatic experiences. Together we have helped over a thousand individuals including veterans and first responders who suffered after adverse experiences through Canine-Assisted Trauma Therapy and Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) - A progressive technique to provide a gentler, faster and more permanent relief from the symptoms from Simple/Complex Trauma, Abuse/Neglect, Grief and Loss, Shame/Guilt, Anger/Resentment, Compassion Fatigue.
Healing and self-improvement start with your willingness to take a step and ask for help. The courage to ask for help is as brave as it is important. My goal in being a counselor is to nurture that courage.
I've spent my career so far treating a variety of different mental health issues which helps such as trauma/abuse, depression, behavioral concerns, anxiety, and grief/loss. I work with each client in an individualistic fashion to ensure you feel heard and respected. My style of counseling relies on an empathic approach towards goals and solutions. My ample time working with sexual trauma survivors has fostered a great set of skills and experience. I am well versed in practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral (TFCBT) Therapy and trained in Eye Moment Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
I believe that everyone has the right to live the life they imagine for themselves. Each of us has a right to feel safe, respected, protected and loved. I have been a psychotherapist for the past twenty years. I chose this profession because I wanted to continue to grow and explore life to its fullest in a work environment that generates positivity. I have worked extensively with the HIV/AIDS community, engaged in comprehensive therapy with sexual abuse and trauma clients, along with a focus on work/life balance concerns. I focus on the client’s strengths, and goals, and explore one's thoughts, past experiences, and belief systems.
I utilize different therapeutic dynamics and offer a collaborative, eclectic, non-judgmental approach to help people better negotiate the imbalances in their lives and help them identify and achieve their goals. Change is always possible.
I am optimistic that together we can work on finding the therapeutic approach that best meets your needs. I look forward to helping you commit to achieving the life and reality you desire and deserve.
I have over 20 years of clinical experience in helping individuals and families that are going through a broad range of challenges and transitions across their lifespan.

Welcome! If you’re here, it means that you’ve taken a step toward changing your life for the better: whether it’s to improve a relationship or the way you feel or think; find some clarity and calm; or determine which steps to take to reach your goals.
Together we will uncover the achievable internal and/or external changes you would like and the steps to reach them. Drawing from a variety of methods such as CBT, DBT, ACT, I combine compassion with practicality to help you realize your desired changes. Sometimes I may just listen if that's what you need or nudge you toward change either by looking at something in a new way or by having you implement an untried behavior. My role is to help you get unstuck and feel confident about your life’s direction and your ability to manage it.
