Introduction
Welcome – I’m Dr. Galen Cole
I am a licensed professional counselor, board-certified psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist, and master of public health. I provide both in-person and remote counseling, psychotherapy, and high-level coaching for individuals, couples, and families. I also coach therapists and healthcare organizations on strengthening their clinical practices and building sustainable, effective businesses.
I offer discreet concierge-level services for executives, celebrities, professional athletes, and other prominent individuals who require personalized, confidential support.
My Approach
My work is practical, results-oriented, and grounded in both science and real-life experience. I blend solution-focused strategies with the latest evidence-based techniques drawn from my background as a research psychologist at the CDC and decades of clinical practice. Whether you’ve seen me on TLC, attended one of my professional trainings, or heard me speak, my goal remains the same: helping you achieve meaningful, lasting change as efficiently and effectively as possible.
A Grounded Perspective You cannot effectively guide someone to a place you have never been. My own life experiences — including a 50-year marriage, raising five children, extensive international travel, senior leadership roles in public health, and a lifelong commitment to personal and professional growth — give me a uniquely practical perspective. This combination of rigorous academic training, clinical depth, and real-world wisdom allows me to help you navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence.
BrainMax Wellness – Precision Brain Health
As Clinical Director of BrainMax Wellness, I lead a measurement-driven approach to brain health and recovery. We begin with a quantitative EEG (qEEG) brain map—a non-invasive assessment that records brain-wave patterns and compares them to age-matched norms. This objective data helps determine whether concerns such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, insomnia, migraines, tinnitus, TBI/concussion, or PTSD are primarily neurological, psychological, or both.
From there, we design personalized neurotherapy and/or photobiomodulation protocols that integrate seamlessly with trauma-informed, mindful cognitive behavioral therapy. The result is targeted, efficient care that addresses root causes rather than symptoms alone—often producing faster, more durable improvements in emotional regulation, cognitive performance, sleep, and overall quality of life.

Leadership Assessment, Executive Consulting & Practice Development
I specialize in formal leadership and executive assessments for organizations committed to building stronger senior teams. Using validated, evidence-based frameworks and structured evaluation methods, I deliver clear, actionable insights for C-suite and key leadership hires. These assessments help organizations reduce risk, identify high-potential leaders, and maximize executive effectiveness in dynamic, high-growth environments.
In addition, clinicians and leaders of healthcare organizations regularly consult with me on how to launch or strengthen private practices and elevate the quality of their clinical services. Drawing on decades of experience building and leading clinical programs, I provide practical guidance on practice structure, clinical systems, service design, and sustainable growth so that both patient outcomes and organizational health improve.
As a thought leader in psychotherapy, Dr. Cole continues to shape the future of evidence-based care through rigorous innovation. In his recently published article, “The Trauma-Informed Model for Mindful Cognitive Behavioral Therapy” (Medical Research Archives, Volume 14, Issue 1, 2026), he introduces a groundbreaking neurobiologically informed framework that seamlessly integrates cutting-edge trauma neuroscience, polyvagal theory, somatic processing, bilateral stimulation, and mindfulness-based CBT. This model exemplifies how Dr. Cole practices evidence-based care: by delivering safe, structured, replicable, and highly effective interventions that prioritize client safety, dramatically reduce the risk of re-traumatization, and produce transformative results — even in complex developmental trauma and treatment-resistant cases.
