Kathryn (Kate) Gallagher, PhD, ABPP, is a staff psychologist, clinical supervisor, and faculty member at the Austen Riggs Center. Her graduate research primarily focused on understanding and preventing violence against women, a public health crisis rooted in gender inequality and fundamental human rights issues. Now, as a full-time practicing clinician, Dr. Gallagher has shifted her attention to another significant human rights and equity issue—inadequate access to affordable mental health care. She is particularly committed to supporting efforts to appeal insurer denials of medically necessary mental health treatment.
