What drives my work:
I believe in our innate capacity to heal.
I believe it is a fundamental right to have access to the appropriate treatment modalities to experience that healing.
I believe in the transformative power of a compassionate, collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Meet your therapist: Cassidy Gallegos
I work with adults who have experienced complex trauma – often relational, developmental, or ongoing experiences that shaped how their nervous system learned to survive. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet feel emotionally disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer make sense.
My approach is grounded in the belief that trauma responses are not symptoms to eliminate, but adaptations that once served an important purpose. In our work together, we move beyond surface-level coping strategies to gently explore what your system has been carrying – at a pace that prioritizes safety, consent, and nervous system regulation.
I use an integrated experiential approach to therapy that may include parts work, somatic and body-based awareness, attachment-focused work, and trauma-informed processing. Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and attuned – you don’t need to have the right words, a clear narrative, or a specific goal to begin.
Healing from complex trauma is not about pushing harder or “fixing” yourself. It’s about creating the conditions for your system to feel safe enough to change. It would be an honor to embark on this journey with you.
