Overcome Burnout & Compassion Fatigue with Expert Coaching
I am Nancy Gallegos, a Certified Compassion Fatigue Professional and licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. My journey began with a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, followed by 16 years of direct service in community mental health and private practice. I have witnessed firsthand how mental health professionals often sacrifice their well-being while supporting others, leading to burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic stress. My expertise lies in helping therapists, social workers, and nurse practitioners reclaim their energy through personalized strategies focused on boundary-setting, self-care, and resilience-building.With a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by helping professionals, I provide practical tools to restore balance without requiring career changes. My approach combines compassionate guidance with actionable steps to address mental blocks and lifestyle patterns that contribute to exhaustion. I specialize in empowering mental health practitioners to rediscover their passion for their work while maintaining sustainable practices that prioritize their own well-being.
