Dr. Gale utilizes a state-of-the-art eclectic therapeutic approach that is tailored to your individual needs. He will help you explore how your past experiences may relate to current issues. In doing so, Dr. Gale will provide you with a safe environment and help you reprogram behavioral patterns into effective strategies for dealing with life issues.
Dr. Gale primarily treats adults. He is experienced in the treatment of a diverse array of people, encompassing various cultures, religions, spiritualities, ethnicities, levels of acculturation, and sexual preferences.
In individual therapy you will work one-on-one with Dr. Gale, discovering yourself through in-depth, interpersonal work. To have successful relationships, hold down a good job, or make and sustain quality friendships, you must first come to some level of peace and understanding within yourself. Individual psychotherapy can help you do this by calling attention to current relationship dynamics and allowing you to practice new behaviors in the therapy setting. People seek psychotherapy for a number of reasons, including stress management, adjustment difficulties, relationship problems, etc. Dr. Gale has experience working with clients who face these, and many other, life challenges.
In couples therapy you will meet with Dr. Gale and your relationship partner to sort out interpersonal difficulties that have arisen as a result of your current relational dynamic. He will help you and your partner find a way to improve your relationship. The presence of both you and your partner will facilitate getting to the bottom of the issues because your relational dynamic will present itself in the therapy room. Individual psychotherapy often enhances couples therapy by allowing private, one-on-one interaction with Dr. Gale or another psychologist. |

Cost Reimbursement
Dr. Gale will provide you with the
documentation necessary to be
reimbursed by your insurance carrier
--the extent of coverage depends on
the details of your plan.
Dr. Gale is not a member of any
insurance panels, so you will be
reimbursed based on services
received from an "out-of-network
provider."
While managed care companies can
help defray the costs of psychotherapy,
they arbitrarily determine the number of
sessions you require, regardless of
your individual treatment needs. In
addition, health insurance companies are
required to give you a diagnosis, which
becomes part of your health record and
can negatively impact your ability to
maintain affordable health insurance
coverage.
Paying for your treatment through your
insurance company (to an "in-network
provider") can greatly impede your
progress and individual growth. |
