Brian Sandoval, PsyD
I describe myself as… compassionate, practical, flexible, genuine and authentic. Each person has unique needs and expectations when pursuing counseling or coaching. I like to “demystify” the process by being upfront from the beginning about what’s possible and what direction we may take.
Why I work with healthcare professionals: Working in primary care and an academic hospital, I’ve witnessed firsthand how medicine can impact a person’s joy, relationships, and self-esteem. During especially challenging moments, providers may find themselves questioning why they chose to pursue medicine in the first place. I frequently assist providers in navigating the tension between their professional calling, the demanding schedules and pressures of their work, and the personal lives they often have to put on hold. I am dedicated to fostering hope, purpose, and fulfillment, even in the most challenging circumstances.
I’m passionate about… increasing access to behavioral health care for anyone who needs it, at the time they need it most. I am communicative between visits and maintain a flexible schedule that allows for rapid access (often within 24-48 hours of a request).
You might like working with me if… you want to learn practical, tangible skills that you can apply in both personal and professional situations. I often describe my approach as "teaching someone how to fish, rather than fishing alongside them." However, I’m equally comfortable providing support during vulnerable moments and helping individuals reflect on their situation. My focus isn’t on applying psychological labels, but on helping people get unstuck using an evidence-based method called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. For couples, I am particularly fond of Relational Life Therapy, a practical and effective approach to fostering effective communication and conflict resolution.
When not working… I love taking road trips with my family, coaching my sons’ sports teams, eating street tacos, and watching soccer (the “real” football).

Gabriela Ramirez, PsyD
I describe myself as… curious, and always wanting to learn more about anything and everything! I like to both plan ahead for the future and live each day as it comes.
Why I work with healthcare professionals: Assisting fellow healthcare professionals with burnout is near and dear to my heart, as I have experienced (and overcome) burnout myself. I strive to improve the mental health of healthcare providers the same way I would have liked someone to do for me when I went through my training. I have previous experience working in medical education, developing wellness curricula for Residents and training them in behavioral health techniques. This allows me to better understand the training demands for Residents and the challenges they might face as they strive to meet these demands to the best of their ability.
I’m passionate about… working with professionals experiencing burnout, and professionals looking to improve their overall wellness. As a mother, I am also passionate about working with mothers in healthcare, as we face unique challenges in meeting the demands of multiple roles. I have further specialized training in working with patients diagnosed with eating disorders, patients experiencing chronic pain, and veterans.
You might like working with me if…you like a skills based approach, with worksheets and homework. You might also like working with me if you want to slow down, pause, and look at the bigger picture. My therapeutic style draws mainly from 3rd wave CBT therapies like DBT, ACT, Radically Open DBT and mindfulness. One saying from DBT that guides my therapeutic style is the concept of creating “a life worth living”, and how to do that under some of the stressors that come with working in healthcare.
When not working… I like to spend time with family, cook, travel with friends, and practice yoga. I also indulge in reality TV 😉

Theresa D. Gallagher, PsyD
I describe myself as… a clinical psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist who values authenticity, collaboration, and curiosity. I see myself as both a clinician and an advocate for well-being, committed to helping people navigate life's challenges with clarity and compassion.
Why I work with healthcare professionals… I have worked in hospitals and NYC jails during the COVID-19 pandemic, where I saw firsthand the extraordinary pressures faced by those in the healthcare field. These experiences deepened my commitment to supporting healthcare professionals as they process stress, prevent burnout, and reconnect with their sense of purpose.
I'm passionate about… working with couples and individuals on issues related to intimacy, communication, and relational health. In addition to my certification as a sex therapist, my generalist training as a clinical psychologist allows me to assist with a wide range of clinical needs including trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress.
You might like working with me if… you appreciate a collaborative and structured approach. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness-based approaches, tailoring therapy to the needs of each client or couple. My approach balances warmth with practical strategies for change.
When not working… I enjoy spending time with my dog, Coconut, hiking, traveling, exercising, cooking, and reading. These activities help me stay grounded, energized, and connected.
Theresa offers individual and relationship counseling as well as specialized sex therapy services.

Deb Kiehlmeier, DO
I describe myself as… open-minded, curious, lighthearted, and honest. I want people to always feel comfortable sharing themselves and in return I will always do my best to help.
Why I work with healthcare professionals: My own extremely difficult experience in medical training has made me forever empathetic to the trauma many healthcare professionals endure, and the concern about having a safe space to seek help.
I’m passionate about… not overdiagnosing or overmedicating. While both have their role, I aim to normalize what my patients are going through and support my patients with a biopsychosocial model of care.
You might like working with me if… you want someone who won’t judge you but will also encourage you to be the best version of yourself.
When not working… I love the gym, hiking, traveling, socializing, cats and tiktok.
