I am passionate about helping others brave life’s challenges by feeling and becoming strong in mind and spirit. I deeply enjoy working with people as they overcome a range of mental health issues, including past trauma, anxiety, depression, dissociation, postpartum health issues, and many more.

In the counseling session, I work to balance the science of the mind with a laid-back style, putting you in the driver’s seat of your health while offering tools to help you feel most equipped to handle the array of challenges you may be facing.  I enjoy adapting my counseling style to your needs, adjusting as you grow in wellness.

I am a Jesus-follower, which inevitably affects my worldview and some of how I approach the counseling space.  Namely, I bring with me a belief that every human is deeply loved, valued, and worthy.  I do enjoy working with those of all belief systems, and respect whatever level of spirituality you feel comfortable with involving in your sessions.

Life is hard. There are constant experiences, feelings, hopes, dreams, successes, failures, and thoughts to navigate and process. Sometimes we do okay navigating life without extra help, other times we need a safe space and fresh perspective to learn, grow and heal. I am always deeply honored when someone trusts me to create that space and walk alongside them in their journey to understand themselves and the world around them. I believe that you are the expert concerning your life, and my job is to collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals.

I enjoy working with people of all ages, life stages, backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. I have experience working with clients who have a wide variety of mental health concerns and am a trauma informed practitioner. I am also trained in Neuro Emotional Technique and enjoy incorporating art into the therapeutic experience when relevant.

What brings you to counseling now? Are you hoping to better understand yourself, grow in new ways, or heal from traumatic experiences? I take a holistic, trauma-informed, and non-diagnostic approach to counseling, so rather than asking, “what’s wrong with you?” I believe it is often more helpful to ask, “how have you survived?” and “what strengths and skills have helped you make it this far?” My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and understood as we explore your story together.

I primarily work with clients navigating the effects of trauma and difficult life experiences, including childhood or adult sexual abuse and exploitation, attachment and parenting concerns, foster care and adoption, pre- and postpartum challenges, grief and loss, infidelity, and spiritual or religious concerns. Whatever has brought you here, I would be honored to walk alongside you as you pursue healing, meaning, hope, and lasting transformation.

As a Christian, I welcome clients who are seeking a biblical perspective into our work together when desired. At the same time, I work with clients from a variety of spiritual and cultural backgrounds, and I believe that each person’s values and beliefs are an important part of the healing process.

My hope is for my clients to leave the office feeling encouraged, challenged, ready to take meaningful steps toward healing, wellness, and wholeness.

Greetings! My name is Tom Galtieri. I am 43 years old, a current counseling graduate student at Colorado Christian University, and Practicum Intern. I am also a husband of 21 years to my lovely wife and a father of two wonderful teenage boys. While new to the counseling field, for the past 20 years, I have been blessed to work alongside a diverse group of people from all walks of life in the construction trades. As such, I believe that I can uniquely offer a genuine and “down to earth” counseling experience.

While my counseling experience is still developing, I deeply resonate with Coleman Counseling’s trauma focused, person centered approach. As your counselor, I will focus on the importance of honoring your unique story. It is my highest priority to make sure that you are heard and seen. We will uncover your many strengths and leverage them toward your resilience. As we collaborate on your goals for healing and growth, we can also tailor a counseling approach that best fits your personality and needs to best achieve those goals. I view the world through the lenses of Gospel hope and redemption, which we can integrate (or not) to whatever extent you would like.

It is my sincere goal to represent myself as a kind and compassionate man who can comfortably sit in the room with anyone: old or young, man or woman, diverse cultures, religions, and backgrounds. I am particularly passionate about working with men from boyhood through every stage of life and removing the stigma around men (and boys) in counseling. I would be honored and humbled at the opportunity to walk alongside you on your journey.
