About Me

Dr. Meagan Gallagher works with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are experiencing a range of difficulties related to mental health concerns, emotional regulation (i.e., managing your emotions), self-harming behaviour, interpersonal and relationship problems, and adjustment to major life transitions. She provides psychological assessments and treatment using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (including Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy and Prolonged Exposure for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), Emotionally Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Systemic approaches to best meet your needs.

Dr. Gallagher has specific interests and extensive experience in the assessment and treatment of Eating Disorders and body image concerns, Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Mood Disorders, and adolescent mental health.

She works with her clients to create a trusting therapeutic relationship to help clients to explore their distressing emotions and thoughts, and to talk about difficult behaviour patterns. From the outset, she works collaboratively with her clients to understand their current difficulties, to identify goals for treatment, and build an individualized treatment plan. Through this process, she works with clients to identify negative emotional and interaction patterns that are at the root of these difficult patterns.
