Meet Matt Gallagher & Sarah Thome
Affinity Consultants are Matt Gallagher, LCPC, and Sarah Thome, LSCSW and both are certified Process Communication Model (PCM®) therapists & trainers. They are licensed clinical therapists based in Wichita, Kansas, who help couples, parents, leaders, and teams communicate better. Both are trauma-trained clinicians and experts in their field, as well as experienced corporate and leadership trainers. Every workshop is grounded in real therapeutic depth and built for immediate use. They have helped thousands of people transform their most important relationships, both personal and professional, through PCM®.
The limits of every other model until PCM®
Matt and Sarah came to PCM® the same way many clinicians do: through the limits of every other model they had tried. Both worked with clients who were smart, well-intentioned, and still talking past the people they loved most. When they each encountered PCM®, something clicked. For the first time, they had a framework that explained not just what was going wrong in a conversation, but exactly how to fix it.
"For the first time, we had a framework that explained not just what was going wrong in our clients' relationships, but exactly how to fix it."
That experience changed their work and their careers. They both pursued PCM® certification and partnered to build Affinity Consultants around a simple idea: if this framework can transform how two people communicate, it can do the same for any couple, any family, any team. Every workshop they lead is informed by years of practice helping people communicate across personality types in therapy rooms, training rooms, and homes.
Clinical depth meets real-world practicality
Matt and Sarah each bring distinct strengths to Affinity Consultants. Both are licensed clinical therapists; Matt also brings extensive corporate training experience. Their complementary backgrounds mean every workshop benefits from clinical depth and real-world practicality.
Sarah Thome is a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) and certified PCM® therapist & trainer who brings both clinical depth and organizational savvy to her work. As a trauma-trained clinician, she recognizes when communication breakdowns have deeper emotional roots and helps people address the patterns underneath, not just the surface friction. She pairs that clinical insight with hands-on experience training leaders, teams, and organizations, translating PCM® into tools participants can use right away. Her style is warm, perceptive, and grounded, and she meets every group exactly where they are.
Matt Gallagher is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and certified PCM® trainer who blends clinical depth with a practical, results-oriented approach. As a trauma-trained clinician, he understands how stress and distress reshape the way people communicate under pressure. He has led corporate and leadership training across leadership teams, first responder departments, and organizations in a range of industries, and he keeps every session direct, engaging, and focused on skills people can put to work immediately, whether in the boardroom or at the kitchen table.
