Our Principles
Tula is a Sanskrit word that means “balance”. At Tula Integrative Health Services, we strive to provide a balanced approach in supporting you as you confront and process the challenges that life can throw at us.
We base our practice on three fundamental principles:
Compassion
Wisdom
Selfless Service
We see mental health as inclusive of much more than simply diagnosing and treating. True wellbeing comes from balance in body, mind, and being. Our deepest sense of ourselves comes not from the labels and definitions we put on ourselves but from the strength that comes from facing our pain and the relationships that support us in that process.
Who We are
Dr. Rachel Gall
Who I am
At my private practice, Greenlake Psychology, I generally view problems as originating from the interactions between people, or the interactions between society and an individual, rather than the source of a problem being located within a person. I focus more on encouraging healthy and fulfilling relationships and less on diagnosis and coping strategies. Therapy with me involves looking at patterns in your life that used to be adaptive, but are now getting in the way of connecting with others. Often these patterns show up in the therapeutic relationship as well, and we will work through them together in a way that feels healthy and reparative so we can break the cycle together.
I believe that healing happens in relationships with others - in fact, relationships themselves are the most powerful agent of change. My goal in therapy is to provide unconditional safety and acceptance so you can be your true self. Growth comes with feeling stretched and challenged, within the context of this safe and affirming relationship. My job is to balance comfort with your need to heal.
I work with Tula IHS to provide quality assessment services to our Denver community, a core value that is extremely important to me. My extensive background working in schools and in private practice has given me unique insight into the various individual, social, and cultural factors that can contribute to cognitive, behavioral, and emotional difficulties in both children and adults. These factors provide a more comprehensive context in which to understand the assessment findings and provide a tailored, rigorous, and in-depth assessment to identify areas of strength and support. I approach assessment as a way to help you deeply understand yourself or your child in order to grow and heal.

Who I am
I provide psychotherapy and assessment for adults and children. In therapy, I specialize in the treatment of PTSD/trauma-related disorders, anxiety, neurodevelopment difficulties, OCD, and addiction, as well as a wide range of other challenges. I strive to be inclusive of anyone who feels I may be of some help in exploring their personal experience and create space to confront their struggles. My background is in clinical health psychology, so I consider factors of both body and mind throughout treatment. I integrate trauma-specific, psychodynamic, exposure, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, and incorporate neurobehavioral principles throughout. I prioritize collaboration with each individual client to tailor therapy for their optimal healing.
I also have considerable training in neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment of a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, and emotional difficulties. I received training in a number of different settings, including college clinics, community mental health, and hospitals. I approach assessment holistically, investigating all possible explanations instead of confirming or disconfirming specific diagnoses. Utilizing the most current and well-stablished methods and tools, I work hard to provide the most accurate results to help you gain deeper insight into your brain, your experiences, and yourself.
I see therapy as an endeavor to support others in discovering their own capacity for healing. I see human beings as complex, dynamic, multifaceted beings. Consequently, addressing mental health concerns requires robust, innovative methods for creating change. Above all, I work to support folks in finding ways to not just address problems, but to thrive and grow beyond them.
