Gilbert’s More: Collaboration 

Lin-Manuel Miranda stated, “The fun for me in collaboration is, one, working with other people just makes you smarter; that’s proven.” 

Effective collaboration fosters hope and wellness. For me it is an adaptive motto that continues to cultivate confidence in helping others. Collaboration lets us zoom in on a problems with improved clarity while also focusing outward to see the causes. When our problems are clarified through collaboration, the new level of awareness provides new possibilities for effectively and successfully managing challenges. Developing awareness can be a difficult but worthwhile process. It helps us see our problems from different angles. When we have a 3D picture of our problems, we find effective solutions.

I am a Licensed Master’s Social Worker and Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor. I am trained in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy that can be used to treat trauma, grief, and PTSD. Additionally, I also specialize in working with our nation’s Veterans. I work primarily with adults and teens and focus on anxiety, depression, stress management, trauma, and addiction.
