Bob Gallo, LCSW, BCD has 30 years of experience as an English/Spanish-speaking psychotherapist/clinical social worker
I enjoy being a psychotherapist/clinical social worker and take pride in doing good work. Being in the field for 30 years has given me a broad range of experience and knowledge that I bring to each of my professional endeavors.
I work in English and Spanish, and have meetings by phone and video conference.
I meet individually with adults and adolescents, and see children together with their family members. I also work with couples and families.
In addition, I consult to those seeking guidance in deciding what service(s) might best benefit them (i.e. therapy, medical attention, complementary or alternative approaches, community resources, etc.).
Besides helping with recent and long-standing concerns or difficulties, therapy can also play an important role in personal growth/exploration, improving one’s functioning, assisting during life changes/transitions, getting through a difficult period of time, providing clarity and finding purpose, enhancing one’s quality of life, and developing one’s spirituality.
Therapy is most effective when there is a “good fit” between oneself and the therapist. I am thoughtful, interactive, empathic, and insightful. People find me easy to relate to.
The people with whom I work continually demonstrate the capacity that all of us have for healing, feeling better, changing, growing, having fulfilling relationships, and living joyfully.
I facilitate the Santa Cruz County Prostate Cancer Support Group for the Katz Cancer Resource Center.
I am one of the Resiliance in Medicine Program therapists serving local physicians. This program is sponsored by Physicians for a Healthy Central Coast Foundation and the Santa Cruz County Medical Society.
