Hello! I’m Dr. Gretchen Gavero.

I'm here to empower you toward a healthier mind and a happier life. Whether you're seeking guidance to manage stress, boost self-confidence, or get motivated, I'm here to provide the tools and knowledge to take care of your mental health and if needed, feel confident to seek help and get the support you need.

I have over a decade of clinical experience as a psychiatrist. I’ve worked in outpatient clinics, hospitals, emergency rooms, and disaster relief situations. I care for patients with various presentations, from the mildest symptoms to those with severe and chronic conditions. I love bringing my passion for self-development, mindfulness, neuroscience, and life lessons to help thousands of people improve their emotional and psychological health.

My favorite part of working with my patients is psychotherapy or talk therapy, and teaching them how our brain and body work to support our emotional and mental well-being. Understanding how your life story integrates with your thoughts and feelings makes it easier to identify coping strategies and find a way to move forward.

I’m also an educator and leader in academic medicine. I teach medical students about mental health care and psychiatry. I train other doctors on how to be a psychiatrist.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, I opened my private clinic, Mindhealthspaceᵀᴹ (Mind Health Inc), while continuing to teach at the medical school. I genuinely enjoy helping one move from feeling down, stressed, and overwhelmed to feeling calm, confident, and energized. I love seeing people change their lives for the better and follow their dreams. Knowing I have a tiny part in that journey is very fulfilling. Here, together, we'll navigate the complexities of the mind, celebrate our progress, and create a solid foundation for long-lasting mental well-being.
