Biography

Gisele Fernandes is a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, organizational consultant and graduate school professor. She has extensive training and clinical experience in body-oriented approaches to psychotherapy, using an integrative method that is rooted in somatic, humanistic-existential and transpersonal psychologies. Originally from Brazil, she began her career as a counselor in a hospital setting in Rio de Janeiro. From the beginning, she was interested in the body-mind connection and in holistic ways of understanding and treating the complexities of the mind-body system, both from the patient as well as the provider’s perspective. Since 2001, she has been working in the bay area in community mental health and private practice settings. Her therapeutic work integrates sensorimotor trauma approach, attachment-based psychotherapy and mindfulness. She is a core faculty member at the California Institute of Integral Studies and has been teaching in academic settings since 2008.
