Daniel Gallagher
(he/him), MACP Candidate
Training Therapist

Hi – I’m Daniel, but everyone calls me Danny. 

I understand that sometimes in life, the exact thing we need for healing is the hardest to talk about in our personal lives. It is those tough, raw, and unexplored stories of your life that have drawn me to therapy. I believe deeply that a therapist’s job is to carefully tread the line between a bold curiosity and respecting your readiness to share. My therapeutic interests primarily focus on trauma and the adverse effects of toxic masculinity on both men and women. 

Over the last several years, I have worked closely with a variety of vulnerable populations, including neurodivergent children in Australia, the unhoused community in Vancouver and most recently, supporting those in distress through my work at the suicide prevention centre in
Toronto. These experiences have helped me to understand that pain is not experienced through a universal lens. Every single person’s own circumstances are unique. The source of your suffering might differ from your neighbours’, but the emotions are all inherently the same. I believe that regardless of your problems, large or small, nothing that causes you pain is too trivial to be met with empathy and acceptance. 

I draw from multiple modalities, but the foundation of our work is the therapeutic relationship. That is why my goal from our first meeting is to create an environment of safety, trust, and non-judgment. Together, I believe we can make sense of what you’ve been carrying and find a
sustainable way for you to move forward. It’s a beautiful world, and you deserve to enjoy it.
