More about Jan Gilbert, LMFT

Working as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Drama Therapist, I strive to infuse treatment with play and humor in a consent-based environment aimed at healing and growth. I used to think my use of humor to deflect was an 'all-bad thing.' However, in the course of my lived experience, I have thus far found that humor - when well-balanced -can lend itself to a levity which can often be vital to the therapeutic process. The role of theatre in my own life has been powerful and transformational. It offers creativity, play, spontaneity, joy, and community. I strongly believe in the power of expression and action-oriented work in self-exploration, healing, and growth and its potential for aiding integration of mind/body healing. I am trained in creative arts therapy to support such work, as well as the neuro-experiential model of Brainspotting. Having left undergraduate with degrees in Theatre Performance and Psychology, it felt a natural progression to complete the MA program for Drama Therapy at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I completed traineeships working with adult clients at an acute inpatient behavioral health center and those in early recovery at a residential treatment center. My approach strives to be trauma-responsive, culturally humble, and seeks to acknowledge and welcome the inherent messy humanity in us all while working to decolonize the therapeutic space and reduce institutional and systemic harm wherever possible. In the therapeutic space, I work collaboratively with the expert in your life experience: you. Using expressive arts, behavioral therapies, psychoeducation, and experiential (on-our-feet) methods to integrate mind/body processing and healing, we will collaborate to support you in working toward whatever goals you have in mind. And, hey, maybe we'll get to have a little fun along the way.
