Kristian Gallegos, LCSW, LCSW, LCSW — Therapist in Maine

Hi there, I'm Kristian!

With 11 years of experience, I provide compassionate, client-centered therapy focused on resilience, healing, and meaningful growth. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, relationships, emotional challenges, and sexuality issues using evidence-based approaches in a supportive, nonjudgment space.

My focus

I work with individuals and couples navigating OCD, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, relationship challenges, and sexual concerns. My clients are often seeking emotional balance, healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and meaningful personal growth in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and grounded in resilience. I integrate evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and sex therapy to support individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds experiences.

My communication style

I create a warm, support, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to be authentic and vulnerable. My style is direct, compassionate, and validating. Clients often feel heard, grounded, challenged with care, and empowered to create meaningful growth and lasting change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy through a deep curiosity about human resilience and the ways people heal through connection, understanding, and self-discovery. Seeing how support and compassion can transform someone's life inspired me to help others navigate challenges and create meaning, lasting change.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively by helping clients identify meaningful, realistic goals that align with their values and needs. Together, we create clear, manageable steps while building insight, accountability, resilience, and practical skills to support lasting growth and meaningful change.

Our first session

In our first session, clients can expect a supportive, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space to share their concerns, goals, and experiences. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, identify strengths and challenges, and begin creating a path toward meaningful growth, healing, and lasting change at your pace.
