About Lucia Gallegos, RP

Hi!, ¡Hola! I’ve experienced a life full of many changes.

My Origins

This personal journey has allowed me to see transitions as a natural part of life.

As one of my favourite quotes says, “Change is hard at first, messy in the middle, and gorgeous at the end.”

Born in Mexico and living in Toronto for over 14 years, I know the joys and challenges of moving to a new country. Leaving my family and friends behind and starting my life in Canada was a transition full of emotional highs and lows. This experience has taught me that sometimes tricky paths lead to beautiful destinations.

What Brings Me Bliss

I love hearing other people’s stories. I seek out comedy podcasts and enjoy making other people laugh. One of my other great loves is eating and tasting food. As a therapist doing her work, I include walking and meditation in my self-care routine. My daily intention is focused on building healthy boundaries. Part of this process has involved reconnecting with my anger and developing kindness to build my own fierce confidence.

My Profession

Before pursuing my psychology degree, I worked in Public Relations and Marketing, where I discovered that the most effective communication comes through listening to others with empathy and compassion. These insights and skills inspired me to change careers and become a therapist.

I bring my unique personal perspective and professional experience to my therapy practice. I am passionate about helping other women find their inner magic, meaning and purpose.

I also facilitate workshops empowering women to cultivate fierce self-compassion, emotional skills, and emotional awareness. Additionally, I have appeared on Canadian television shows, where I provide insights and engage in conversations aimed at supporting and connecting with the Feminine.

My Approach

With my therapy services offered in Spanish and English, I am here to support you in exploring and expressing your thoughts and emotions.

My primary focus is creating a supportive and empathetic environment where you feel safe and genuinely understood.

In addition, I work with interventions that involve the body, such as bodily awareness, movement, or other techniques that center around the mind-body connection.

I firmly recognize the significance of integrating bodily experiences and sensations into the therapeutic process as valuable tools for healing and insight.

My work combines warmth and compassion to foster a deep reconnection between your body and mind, tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

Working together, I can help you discover how to become your beautiful ‘flower in winter.’
