A grounded, collaborative approach
Dr. Sarah Galloway is a warm, steady, and collaborative psychologist who brings both deep clinical knowledge and real-world humanity to her work. Outside the office, she spends time with family and her puppy, often outdoors hiking, kayaking, running, skiing, or traveling. That grounded, movement-forward way of living mirrors her therapeutic style: present, active, and centered on helping people build a life that feels meaningful and aligned.
Clinical training and medical expertise
With a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Virginia and Post-doctoral fellowship from the Medical University of South Carolina in health psychology, Dr. Galloway integrates evidence-based treatments to help clients understand what’s keeping them stuck and create practical, sustainable change. Her background spans academic medical institutions and community-based hospital systems (including the Medical University of South Carolina and the Levine Cancer Institute at Atrium Health) where she treated patients with cancer, chronic illness, pain, and major life stressors. She considers biological, psychological, and social factors in developing a full understanding of the patient and treatment planning.
This foundation shaped her ability to work effectively with complexity — whether that complexity relates to health conditions, professional demands, identity shifts, or significant life stress. She brings a structured yet flexible approach to therapy, tailoring care to the layered realities of each person’s life.
Dr. Galloway has held leadership and academic roles within major medical systems, including serving as Chief of Psycho-Oncology at the Medical University of South Carolina and Assistant Professor at the Levine Cancer Institute. In these settings, she worked closely with multidisciplinary medical teams and provided care to patients navigating complex diagnoses and treatment decisions. This depth of experience informs her ability to thoughtfully assess complex presentations and tailor treatment to the individual.

Depth, leadership, and whole-person care
Throughout her career, clients, students, and medical teams have sought out Dr. Galloway for her therapeutic presence and her expertise in complex medical and psychological conditions. She has developed and led programs for physicians, taught psychology interns, and supervised postdoctoral fellows. Additionally, Dr. Galloway has presented research at national and international conferences, published research on pain, anxiety, and depression, and delivered dozens of invited talks on coping, wellness, and whole-person care.
Across all settings, her goal remains the same: to offer grounded, research-driven tools that translate into everyday life — and to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and genuinely partnered in your growth.
