Dr. Jeffrey Gagliardi

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, depression, addiction, chronic illness, and life coaching. After leaving a career in finance, I obtained my Master's and Doctorate of Social Work degrees from Southern Connecticut State University. Over the past seven years, I've worked in various settings helping individuals overcome their mental health struggles. I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to help people overcome the challenges in their lives.

My approach focuses on behavioral therapy, which helps people change their negative thought patterns and habits. I use positive psychology, which emphasizes developing a person's strengths to increase their well-being. Establishing a strong counseling relationship is crucial to effective therapy. I prioritize building trust and creating a comfortable, safe environment for my clients. I regularly seek feedback from clients to make any necessary adjustments to enhance the counseling experience.

Our work will allow you to better understand who you are and develop skills to overcome the obstacles to your happiness. In each session, we’ll discuss actions you can take to improve your sense of well-being immediately. You’ll arrive at a place where you can live authentically and joyfully, allowing you to thrive at work and in your relationships.
