Are you and your partner feeling disconnected, stuck in conflict, or struggling to rebuild trust? Maybe communication keeps breaking down, resentment is growing, or the relationship no longer feels close and secure.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re in the right place.

I’m James Gallegos, LMFT, and for over two decades I’ve helped couples and individuals navigate relationship challenges with honesty, compassion, and practical tools for change. My approach is warm, direct, and focused on helping couples strengthen communication, rebuild connection, and create healthier patterns together.

I specialize in couples counseling, conflict resolution, affair recovery, and helping partners move through difficult relationship cycles. I also work with individuals struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors that impact intimacy and trust.

My work draws from the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other evidence-based approaches.

I offer in-person therapy in Arlington and Mount Vernon, Washington. When you’re ready, schedule a free consultation or use the contact form to tell me a bit about what you’re looking for.
