Khalil Gallop, MHC-LP
He/him/his
Khalil is a Black clinician who grew up in the Bronx, and that background shapes how he shows up for his clients—especially those from communities that haven't always felt seen or understood by therapy. He believes healing happens through real connection, and that starts with genuine curiosity about each client's story. In his work, Khalil brings compassion, honesty, and acceptance, and he helps clients recognize the strengths they already have. Together, they explore what's been weighing them down and figure out how to live in a way that feels true to who they are.
Khalil holds an M.A in Mental Health Counseling and a B.A in Psychology from the City College of New York. He works through an anti-oppressive and intersectional lens, weaving relational psychodynamic, systems-oriented, and humanistic approaches while mindfully weaving cognitive-behavioral and emotion-focused therapy techniques into his practice in hopes of developing an interpretation of a client’s story while also structuring collaborative goals for the client to move towards during sessions. He draws on his experience working with diverse clients from BIPOC, QTPOC, gender-expansive, and inner-city communities, and is confident in creating a safe, attentive, and culturally responsive space for his clients. Above all, his desire is to hold space and position himself as a resource for marginalized clients as they resiliently navigate life.
