Barbara J. Gilbert, PhD

Passionate Psychologist Focused on Empowering Individuals

Welcome to my practice! I'm Dr. Barbara J. Gilbert, a licensed psychologist dedicated to helping individuals overcome mental and emotional challenges. With over three decades of experience, I have guided countless clients towards greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and lasting fulfillment.

Areas of Expertise

My clinical expertise encompasses a diverse range of concerns, including:

• Depression and Anxiety: Supporting individuals in managing these debilitating conditions and developing effective coping mechanisms.
• Trauma Recovery: Specialized in treating both past and ongoing trauma, including abuse, neglect, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
• Power Dysfunctions: Helping clients overcome unhealthy patterns of under- or over-assertiveness to live more fulfilling lives.
• Relationship Issues: Addressing communication difficulties, conflict resolution, and fostering deeper connection with loved ones.
• Life Transitions: Guiding individuals through challenging life changes, such as separation, retirement, or career changes.

Client-Centered Approach

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process, tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I utilize evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and trauma-informed interventions to empower you with the tools you need to thrive.

Values and Beliefs

My practice is guided by core values of empathy, respect, and empowerment. I actively listen to understand your concerns, validate your feelings, and guide you towards lasting change. I respect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of my clients and provide a safe and inclusive space for all.
