About Shira Gallagher

Adults

My practice reflects an array of ages, races, gender identification, and sexual orientations. My adult practice often includes a number of young adults, immigrants from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, and men, often who are in therapy for the first time, exploring and redefining their goals for their career, relationships, and their sense of self.

People differ in their preferences for someone who is either similar to or different from them in various ways, while others do not focus on these dimensions. The best way to know if there is a good fit between us is to have an initial conversation.

With adults, I specialize in treating the following issues:

Depression and Anxiety
Acculturation
Work issues or transitions
Relationship problems and/or sexuality
Social problems
Adoption/Foster care
Shame sensitivity and perfectionism
Trauma
Family difficulties
Decisions regarding having/not having children
Grief, loss, and illness

To set up an initial consultation to discuss your interest in therapy, call (510) 594-4008 or email me.
