Hi! I'm Monica Gilbert

I am a BCBA-D (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Florida.

My aim in providing you with these trainings is to bridge the gap between behavior analytical and clinical mental health tools. I firmly believe after more than 16 years practicing in both fields that their are tools from both of each disciplines that can help any clinician become a more successful change agent in their clients (and client families) lives.

have used Motivational Interviewing skills in my two private practices and launched a new private practice (aka The.MI.Doctor) that is solely focused on bringing you these trainings.
