Gabrielle Mitrak

You can expect a warm, funny, and direct person to be with you in our sessions together. My personal experience as a mother drew me to perinatal mental health, which is my clinical area of expertise. I know first-hand how motherhood is a time of transition and transformation that requires professional support. I specialize in reproductive mental health and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADS). I am certified by Postpartum Support International and hold an additional title of PMH-C (PSI11261). At Antioch University, I co-created a new certificate track and curriculum in perinatal mental health for future counselors in training.

Trauma underpins my areas of clinical expertise. I am trauma-informed and trained in a processing modality called lifespan integration. Counseling survivors of domestic violence is a secondary focus area of mine. For years, I've volunteered at a domestic violence organization and counseled survivors of domestic violence in clinical settings.

I can strategize with you once we’ve established a working relationship. I draw from a mix of behavioral strategies as well as somatic ones to provide relief. Longer-term solutions often involve a mix of trauma processing, medication (sometimes), and an agency for change.
