My name is Lou Gallo and I am a trans-identified clinical social worker who has been in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked in school settings, in the community with LGBTQ2IS youth, and within clinical mental health setttings. I have a specialization working with adults who have experienced trauma, including those who have experiences of suicidality and suicidal behaviours. I also have experience supporting people who struggle with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD. Using mindfulness and system based theories within an ARAO framework, I support people in making choices that have a positive impact on their lives.
