Stewart Gallas MS LPC

I’ve been seeing Stewart for 2 ½ years. I’ve been with many therapists before him, but he is the only one I’ve stuck with. He is loving, compassionate, understanding, and is truly invested in the well being of his clients. He really is the best.

I was very disappointed in Stewart. He seemed more interested in himself than I. I’m surprised by everybody’s review. I think he’s egotistical and wasted much time talking about things that didn’t even relate to me.

As someone who was reluctant to going to counseling for years, I reached a point where I agreed with my wife that we needed help in our relationship. Thank God we found Stewart. Stewart was not only completely successful in getting us communicating again, but also helped us reconnect as a couple. He did this in such a way, that it never felt uncomfortable for me or my wife, even when difficult things were discussed. If anyone has doubts about counseling, but is willing to give it a shot to save their marriage, then Stewart is your guy!

Stewart is, hands down, the most caring, empathetic, wonderful therapist I have ever seen. Having been to a few therapists prior to seeing him, I was completely blown away by the difference in my sessions with Stewart. He really is invested in his patients, and genuinely listens and responds to you. He is not your typical therapist, he will call you out, make you dig deep, laugh with you, cry with you, and tell you like it is, even when you might not want to hear it. ;) He completely changed my life, and even now that I have moved away from Austin, I still use his advice often, like I have a mini-​Stewart on my shoulder coaching me. If you are really, truly ready to help yourself and grow, Stewart is the way to go.

Stewart is wonderful. I read the reviews and I say ditto to all of them. Stewart has helped me to find my way to the great life waiting for me. He made me want to stretch out my hands and grab the future. I needed him to help me to see it and to push me to grab it. All I have to do now is hold on. He is so special. I can sum it up in two words. HE CARES.

First and foremost, I don’t take the time to go out of my way to write a review on a person/​business unless I am absolutely satisfied (unless in the rare case I’m upset). Stewart however is one of those people I have to write a (positive) review for! I have never seemed to «click» with a therapist before, and I have now been seeing stew for almost a year and a half. He TRULY cares about his clients… and he has spoken to me over the phone at times as well. I’ve come a long way since I started seeing him, and am truly happy he is in my life!

Stewart is an amazing therapist. He is incredibly compassionate, kind-​hearted and does not judge. He is also blunt and gets to the point. He will be honest with you. And he will help you.
You will know right away if he is for you (i.e. you will not need weeks or multiple session to find out).
I can’t say enough good things about him. He has helped me immensely. If you want help, Stewart is for you.

One of the most important things a therapist can do for a person is to be the kind of therapist you need. If you are a meek and mild type and you don’t need an in your face kind of therapist, Stewart is for you! If you are a opinionated, direct speaking, not afraid to use my brain and let others know I did, kind of female… then Stewart is for you as well!!! It took Stewart two visits to figure out I was the later and start giving my crap right back to me! NONE of my previous therapists ever picked up on the fact that I needed someone to spar with me in order to process things… go figure!
And I have no doubt what so ever that Stewart knows his clients well enough to know exactly who wrote this! Especially if I say that my hair has been red since I started seeing him!

I love Stewart. LOVE HIM. He listens, but he doesn’t take sh*t. He is by far the best marriage counselor ever, but he is more of an amazing therapist.
I was in a horrible marriage — my husband at the time was controlling, constantly thought I was cheating (to a crazy point), had pushed me a few times in clubs for nonsensical and made up reasons, and was mentally and emotionally abusive — we had been married only 5 months. I insisted we seek counseling and a girlfriend of mine called Stewart and got us an appointment last minute, even though he was apparently booked solid. My former husband and I saw Stewart once and separated in Stewart’s office. Stewart pointed out, very honestly, that it wasn’t going to work. Nothing could make it work. My ex had cheated the day before counseling (told me in the office) and was a grade A a**hole to me in front of Stewart and I was just falling apart at the seams. That may sound like he failed as a counselor, but in reality, if he only wanted money or was truly a bad counselor, he could have tried to convince us to make it work and continue marriage counseling.
Stewart saved me from a life of heartache and mental abuse. Steward called me shortly after our initial failed marriage counseling session and offered to officially be my therapist. He helped me through my ex stalking me and endless other high drama (including my ex stealing my cat). Stewart was there 100% of the time and was fully supportive and was downright hilarious. When I needed to call him, I could, and going through that really dark time, he heard from me often. He pushed me to open up to him and was there for me when I was just a blubbering sack of emotions and anguish or calmed me down when I was enraged by the situation. When I was convinced my ex was my world, Stewart reminded me of his behavior in the office and brought me back to reality. I was a handful.
After seeing Stewart regularly and dealing with my emotional times and trust issues, I was able to successfully move on into healthier relationships and just be totally happy — I am married to an amazing man now and we have a beautiful daughter, I feel it would not have ended up this way without Stewart. I firmly believe a true therapist helps you when you need it most and saves you from yourself.

I cannot imagine a more effective, or more caring, therapeutic relationship than the one I have with Stewart. In the distant past I’d had some truly horrendous therapy experiences, but a couple of years ago when I found myself desparately needing effective counsel, a friend recommended Stewart. From day one he demonstrated not just that he genuinely cared, but that he was willing to go beyond his regular office hours to ensure that I got the help I needed. With Stewart’s assistance, I can say that, today, I am an almost entirely different, and considerably better and healthier, person. I now feel like I am in control of my life, and that’s not a feeling that I was much familiar with before Stewart. Even though I consider myself happy and healthy, I won’t stop seeing Stewart. He got me on the best track of my life, and he’s going to help keep me here.

I agree with tj review. Stewart doesnt sit there with that dazed therapist look. He actually listens and interacts! He demonstrates he cares and is very effective in his approach. I have gone through a few other therapists that left me feeling more frusterated and helpless over the same situation. I feel I am finally getting good insight results.

Stewart may push your buttons but is honest and open about working on «the issues». He cares about his clients, and goes the extra mile to work with them. Great on a couple basis and equally caring for individual therapy.
