About Michael Galloway

Throughout my professional career as a teacher, counselor, supervisor and program director I have participated in and created many programs to support the personal and professional development of each individual, be they student, patient, client, or professional peer. I believe in supporting the emergence and development of the true, authentic self. This means creating and facilitating innovative, reality based experiences with coursework, professional opportunity and practical application in the real world. In therapy, this translates into entering healing and interpretive dialogues which empower self responsibility and an activation of goal oriented growth and development. I like facilitating genuine, authentic [and provocative] interventions and conversations which help an individual realize they must step up to face themselves and take right action in their daily life.
