Dianne Gallo

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW

I am passionate about supporting you to be free from fear and anxiety, align to inner guidance, develop nourishing relationships, and make choices from a place of love, curiosity, and possibility. I’ve supported individuals struggling with anxiety, panic, life transitions, relationship issues, and questions of meaning and purpose.

My experience as a therapist includes working with recently immigrated youth, high school and college students, and individuals of all ages, identities, and backgrounds in community mental health. Before training as a therapist, I worked in international women’s rights, food justice, and bilingual education. I draw from psychodynamic, relational, somatic, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches.

Saira Bhatti

Psychiatrist, MD

My ideal patient is one who is struggling in their day to day lives and is looking to make a change. That change can be in the form of therapy, medication, or a second opinion- I provide my medical recommendations and suggestions, while respecting your choices and autonomy. Making that first phone call, typing out that first email, making it to that first appointment are tremendous steps that are often the most difficult to make. Why not make the rest of your journey easier with someone who you can trust?
