SHOMARI TURNER GALLAGHER, LCSW

Well-Being in the Modern World

ABOUT ME

Serving clients since 2010

I'm a NY State licensed Psychotherapist committed to helping my clients experience enhanced well being. While I earned an MSW degree from Fordham University in 2005, I consider myself a life-long learner. I continue to enhance my existing skills while developing new techniques in order to best address the diverse needs of my clients. Please ask me more about my specific practice modalities when we meet- I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please see the SERVICES section to read more about my offerings. I am guided by the belief that there is no "good" or "bad", "right" or "wrong" way to achieve life satisfaction. There is only how you are currently living and how you would like to be living. Let's find out what that means for you and how to access it.

ALL ABOUT THERAPY

The world sometimes feels designed to distract us from our core truths: We are wise and whole and full of wonder. Therapy can help us to remember.

Therapy is an act of self care. Holistic Psychotherapy seeks to nurture minds, bodies and spirits. Whether you have been struggling with life's challenges for a while, you have just recently experienced a set back, or you are simply seeking maintenance and personal growth, we will work together to address your needs, building the internal and external resources you need to live the fulfilling life you want.

I utilize a variety of therapeutic techniques tailored to the needs of each person. My style is Relational and Humanistic; it is my belief that the relationship between client and therapist is what truly fosters personal transformation. Our greatest need is to be seen, heard and feel connected- to ourselves and others. I look forward to exploring the possibilities with you.

SOMATIC COACHING & REIKI

A Happier, Healthier You

Reiki is a form of energy healing originating in Japan. It can address all aspects of well-being: the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. An attuned practitioner uses Qi (life-force energy) to promote gentle healing.

Somatic Movement (SAH Method)

A combination of mindfulness, breathwork, intentional movement and ecstatic dance that helps individuals connect with their bodies, process stuck emotional residue and promote self- liberated healing.

SOMATIC EXPERIECING

Connect with the body's wisdom

Somatic experiencing is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma, recover from stress and release stuck emotions. It focuses on the connection between the mind and body, emphasizing the importance of physical sensations in understanding emotional experiences. By becoming aware of bodily responses, clients can release pent-up energy and tension, leading to a greater sense of well-being and resilience. This method encourages a gentle exploration of feelings, fostering a safe environment for healing and personal growth.

TALK and EMDR THERAPY

Here For You

I implement effective psychotherapy methods to empower self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations.
I believe that each person has the answers they seek already inside of them. What I do is help each client access parts of themselves they have forgotten.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a psychotherapy technique designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. By using guided eye movements and other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR aims to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories, enabling patients to reframe their experiences and reduce symptoms of PTSD and anxiety. This innovative approach has gained recognition for its effectiveness in promoting emotional healing and recovery.
