Jerome Galea

My communication style

I see you as the expert of your life while I bring knowledge of treatment options. Our sessions are collaborative, working together toward your goals. I frequently use homework between sessions to facilitate progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

After providing counseling for many years in health research settings, I became a licensed clinical social worker. I've seen repeatedly that with a solid treatment plan, evidence-based interventions, and trusting communication, lives get better. I want to be part of that change for you.

My goals for you

After understanding your presenting issue in the first few sessions, we'll create a treatment plan with SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. We'll periodically revisit and evaluate progress, making changes as needed.

Our first session

Expect to do most of the talking: I want to get to know you and learn what led to help-seeking. I'll ask questions to get as clear a picture as possible about what's going on.
