Self Care

Listen in as Dr. Bergen shares ESSENTIAL tips for self- care and how you can monitor your emotions to better know what your body needs.

From Dr, Bergen:

I’m a clinical psychologist in private practice in Portland, OR - I earned my doctorate in 2007 and was licensed in 2008.

I became fascinated with emotions and behavior as a kid - probably because of my own depression as a result of being bullied and seeing my grandmother struggle with agoraphobia/social phobia. I started reading Freud and other pioneers in the field and decided at 16 I wanted to be a psychologist. I then went on to study psychology in college and graduate school where I earned my doctorate. I have worked predominantly in medical environments for much of my career - specializing first in geriatrics and then working in a primary care clinic at a VA hospital before starting my private practice in 2015. Most of my focus now is on treating “complex” trauma (childhood trauma), depression, and helping people recover from divorce.

Did you LOVE that one?! I did too. Thanks for being here and remember, you're strong not broken. -Gabbi. Follow me on IG/FB: @mindhealthdpt

Disclaimer: I am a Physical Therapist and Wellness Coach. I specialize in guiding women to freedom from anxiety with a mind-body approach. I utilize my education as a Physical Therapist to give you an understanding of your body to assist your body in promoting a healthy and well environment. I provide tools for relief to women who choose to manage anxiety without medication, who have encountered a negative experience with medication, or who found no benefit from medication, and are left searching for answers.  My degree as a Physical Therapist does not make me a Medical Doctor, Psychiatrist, Mental Health Therapist/Counselor, or Psychologist. I can not and will not: diagnose your illness or condition, provide talk therapy or counseling, prescribe medication, or discuss or alter your medication regimen (including discontinuation of any medication). I will advise you seek care from your primary care doctor or a mental health professional if I recognize this as an essential component to your well-being -AND/OR- your situation is not appropriate for my program.

Please seek individual consultation with a qualified healthcare provider for medical advice and answers to personal health questions.
