Heather Glubo, PhD

Psychologist, director of behavioral medicine, the American Institute for Cognitive Therapy, New York, US
Work Experience: 10+ years in behavioral medicine

“Our perception is the lens with which we understand and navigate the world. I love helping my patients adjust their perception by meeting them where they are and serving as a mirror through which they can see their world a little differently. This creates the space for small shifts that compound, leading to dramatic results.”

My Journey in Medicine

I am fascinated by the connection between the mind and body and take a holistic and evidence-based approach to care. Biological, psychological, and social factors are all important influences on how patients think, feel, and act and their overall health, and I aim to consider each of these in my treatment. Through my training and experience, I’ve found that when we treat a whole person rather than a list of symptoms, overall outcomes can be significantly improved.  

My practice focuses on anxiety, depression, emotion regulation difficulties in young adults, and mental health for new moms. I also treat neurological and medical conditions such as concussion, traumatic brain injury, headaches, pain, cancer, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and issues affecting women’s health. We work together to improve attention, memory, language, visual-spatial skills, emotional management, problem-solving, and personal dynamics. 

I enjoy staying up to date with health literature and science breakthroughs, being part of the discussions and questions related to the mind–body feedback loop, and using this knowledge to improve the lives of my patients.

It’s wonderful to have the chance to collaborate with Flo to improve the lives of millions of users around the globe and make mental health resources more accessible to those in need.
