Gabrielle Freitag, M.S.

Biografía Personal

Biografía Profesional Gabrielle Freitag es una estudiante de doctorado en Ciencias Clínicas en la Universidad Internacional de Florida. Gabrielle completó su Licenciatura en Artes (B.A.) en Psicología con un menor de edad en Desarrollo Infantil en la Universidad Vanderbilt. Durante su tiempo en Vanderbilt, completó una pasantía clínica en el Instituto de Mente Infantil. Después de graduarse, ella persiguió una beca de dos años de postbachillerato en el Premio a la Formación en Investigación Intramural en el Instituto Nacional de Salud Mental (NIMH) en la Sección de Desarrollo y Neurociencia Afectiva bajo la tutoría de Daniel Pine, MD.

Gabrielle está interesada en (1) analizar la comorbilidad psiquiátrica para identificar objetivos en los esfuerzos de prevención e intervención para los jóvenes con problemas de comportamiento internalizantes y externalizantes, (2) entender cómo los comportamientos de los padres influyen en el inicio y la trayectoria de la ansiedad juvenil y pueden informar adaptaciones en la terapia de interacción padre-hijo (PCIT) para tratar presentaciones complejas de síntomas, y (3) aprovechamiento de la terapéutica digital para guiar el desarrollo e implementación de intervenciones dirigidas, basadas en evidencias, entre las familias y los proveedores comunitarios y, en última instancia, aumentar la accesibilidad y sostenibilidad de la atención de salud mental de los jóvenes.
