brooke gilbertsen, PSY.D.

Specializes in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, OCD, grief and loss, and addiction.

 

Therapeutic Approach

I am a big believer in treating the whole person, taking into consideration the presenting mental health struggle, genetics, neuropsychology, the context of the family system and environment, social relationships, trauma, core beliefs, and self-worth; essentially looking at all aspects of the individual’s life in an integrated way.

I often incorporate holistic approaches (mindfulness, meditation, guided imagery, diaphragmatic breathing, or activation of the Vagus nerve through breathwork) into my work to ensure the mind, body, and spirit are supported.

Operating with this philosophy, I am passionate about collaborating with my patients to tailor-make goals aimed at becoming the best version of themselves. As a byproduct, improvements can be observed in mood, motivation, relationships, and overall mental health. A dream life starts with interior design, after all.

I am the author of *The Impact of Mindfulness on the Quality of Life of Cancer Patients* (2017), which studied the correlation between mind-body medicine and quality of life.
