Psychologist (Supervised Practice) | Toronto Clinic
Gibran Rodriguez (he/him) completed his Ph.D. in Clinical and Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto – Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE). He completed his Master’s-level education at the Universidad de las Americas in Mexico City. In Mexico, he was trained in family and couple’s therapy, brief therapy, and CBT. Gibran worked as a therapist in private practice and as a sex educator for several years before moving to Canada to start his doctoral program. He has completed two clinical placements as a Ph.D. student, one at a private practice in Oshawa, ON, and another one at the CAMH Sexual Behaviours Clinic.
Gibran is experienced in working with a wide variety of mental health problems in adults, ranging from mild to moderate/severe. He has worked with clients presenting issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, chronic illness, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder. While in Canada, Gibran has received training in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and clinical, psychoeducational and forensic assessment. His therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centred, as he strives to develop a positive relationship with his clients to reach mutually defined goals and employs a variety of strategies. Gibran believes that while he might be knowledgeable about tools to foster change, clients bring their own expertise to therapy in the form of lived experiences, self-awareness, and personal strengths.
Gibran provides psychological services in both English and Spanish.
Starting in September 2019, Gibran will be completing a year-long clinical placement at Broadview Psychology. When not engaging in clinical work or research, Gibran enjoys being active, spending time with family and friends, exploring the city of Toronto, reading a good book, and travelling.
