Gabrielle Willey (she/her)

I have worked in an intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization eating disorder program while providing supervised eating disorder specific treatment. I am currently working towards getting my certified eating disorder specialist certification. I am passionate about working with those who have an eating disorder or disordered eating throughout my career and I am currently supervised by Michelle Gebhardt, Psy. D., CEDS-S.

I have worked with people with substance use issues and disorders in residential and outpatient settings while providing supervised substance use specific treatment. Self-destructive patterns of coping are a particular area of interest for me which include problematic substance use, disordered eating, self-harm, and relationship difficulties. I have experience in both abstinence-based and harm-reduction treatment models.

Working with those who have trauma-related symptoms and disorders is a passion area of mind and I have worked with adults and children who have suffered from the impact of traumatic events in psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs, and outpatient settings. For my APA certified internship I provided supervised trauma-informed, relational, CPT, and PE modalities to Veteran and active duty Service Members.

I have provided supervised therapy to specifically treat trauma-related symptoms and disorders. Within trauma therapy, a provide psychoeducation on the impacts of trauma through a trauma-informed lens. In my dissertation I researched interventions for the treatment of trauma and created a group program for pregnant women who are addicted to substances and have a history of interpersonal trauma.

I have provided supervised ACT therapy in residential, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings. I provide psychoeducation and acceptance, mindfulness, cognitive defusion, and value-based living. I have experience providing ACT interventions in individual and group therapy.

I practice from a relational-cultural theory lens which focuses on examining the complexity of human relationships. It is a feminist theoretical orientation that explores how oppression and societal influences impact how people process emotions and connect to one another. Within therapy, I strive to create growth-fostering relationships that encourage mutual empowerment and self-compassion.
