“Life is a journey, and we are faced with many challenges along the way. I believe all individuals can navigate and overcome obstacles that arise throughout their life by their life experiences and exploring their inner strengths to help them make positive changes in their lives. With empathy, encouragement, and guidance I feel each person can achieve self-acceptance, peace, and happiness. It is my primary goal to provide a non-judgmental, safe, and positive environment. I encourage my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings at a deeper level. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, families, and Emergency Responders. My special interests include Play Therapy and Animal-Assisted Therapy, self-esteem issues, anxiety and fears, depression, stress management, anger management, parent/child relationships, ADHD, and behavioral issues (children, adolescents). My approach to counseling is unique to each client depending on their need. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship can help individuals reach their full potential. I find my own therapy in spending quality time with my husband and three children, traveling, and caring for the animals on our farm.”
Michele Gallegos also has intensive training in Equine Therapy and provides Equine Assisted Services with Equine Specialist Catherine Gowans at Tranquil Tyme Animal Assisted Services, LLC in Boise, Idaho.

Jake Dyer, Masters of Counseling Intern
Hello, I am excited to join the Boise Family Therapy Group team as an Intern. I am in the final year of my graduate program at Northwest Nazarene University earning a Master’s of Science degree in Counseling. I have a passion to join people on their path to living a fulfilling, peaceful, and meaningful life. My role as a counselor is to meet clients where they are in life and empathically build a relationship where we will journey together toward their goals.
I have experience working with elementary and middle school at-risk-youth where I served as a positive role model, utilizing my passion for helping develop strong self-esteem, well-being, and community. I also have a background working with adults helping them find meaning careers where they can advance and accomplish life goals. My favorite thing about interacting with others is joining them as they discover meaning and purpose in life and find contentment and peace.
