Allison Lopez-Galtman

I am a Latinx female raised in New York City. I have been in social work for 25+ yrs in which I have worked in many settings such as community based mental health clinics, ambulatory health clinics in hospitals in New York working with cancer patients as well as others grappling with chronic medical conditions. I also worked in outpatient satellite clinics in public schools providing psychotherapy to children and their families and collaborating with DOE staff.

My approach is eclectic and collaborative with clients. I meet them where they are in their therapy journey.

I perform an assessment in the first two sessions with clients which helps us to establish the goals of their therapy. During sessions, I am active in sessions and help clients with tools that will help them manage their concerns from various theories such as CBT, mindfulness and solution focused techniques to name a few.
