Ann Marie Galioto

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring a unique perspective to therapy through an uncommon journey from science to counseling. Holding a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Molecular Virology, I transitioned mid-career to the field of mental health out of a deep curiosity about the human condition and a desire to help others find meaning, balance, and resilience in their lives. I am passionate about working with adults navigating life’s many challenges—from managing anxiety and addressing the inner critic to coping with stress and life changes such as job-related burnout, career transitions, bereavement, stepping into a caregiving role, or adjusting to a new health diagnosis.”

My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and mutual respect. My focus is to help clients build on personal strengths, practice self-compassion, and find new ways to think and cope. My goal is to meet each client where they are and to create a safe, supportive space where healing and growth can unfold at their own pace.

Our first session is all about getting acquainted. I want to hear your story and understand what brings you here. You’ll also be able to ask any questions and get a better understanding of what to expect as we work together.
