Hector Gallardo

My early training as a counselor was at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) working with students experiencing anxiety, depression, everyday life challenges- provided guidance counseling helping students choose a career.

I have been a counselor for over 30 years working in different settings such as inpatient/ outpatient/ partial hospitalization programs.

I also experience as an Employee Assistance Professional (EAP) working with several major corporations, schools, hospitals in El Paso.

Currently I am working as counselor at Ft. Bliss, Tx providing counseling for service members and their families.

My approach to therapy begins with doing a full comprehensive initial evaluation to determine the person’s needs, goals.

From there I take a holistic practical - solution focused approach.

After assessing and looking at what the client’s goals are - I begin by building a good solid foundation we can build on by first of all teaching a client how we gather information from our world and where we process this information and how this information has an impact not only in any relationship we have but more importantly how it impacts the relationship we have with ourselves.
