Dr Gretchen Kishbaugh
Licensed Psychologist
“I offer careful listening and collaborative engagement in the service of working toward your goals.”
About Me
I believe therapy thrives when we work together. My approach centres on careful listening, creating a space where you feel truly heard. We'll collaboratively engage with your concerns, exploring what matters most to you. This partnership helps us understand your unique experiences and identify practical steps forward. This approach suits those ready to actively shape their journey and work towards clear objectives.
Approach
That partnership shows up in sessions as a steady, attuned presence that helps you notice patterns and try small experiments tailored to your life. In my office in Petaluma I combine focused play, dream exploration and gentle inquiry so children, parents and adults can explore feelings, behaviour and meaning at a comfortable pace. Between meetings I often suggest simple practices or reflections to test what shifts. People who want practical insight and collaborative momentum usually find this approach helpful.
