About Dr. Hilary Rosenberg
Dr. Hilary Rosenberg has worked and trained as a clinician and psychology researcher throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. She received a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University, and a B.A. in Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis. As a doctoral student she was fortunate to work with a wide range of adult clients across hospital and clinic settings in the Bay Area, from college students to married couples to mid-career professionals to older adults living with complex medical illness. She completed her pre-doctoral internship at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) in San Francisco, and before that trained at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System, the University of San Francisco (USF), HealthRight360 / Tenderloin Health Services at Glide Memorial Church, and The Gronowski Center at Palo Alto University. Her dissertation, “Attention and decentering across focused attention and open monitoring mindfulness practices,” explored the working components and clinical usefulness of various mindfulness-based techniques. Before graduate school, she worked at the Los Angeles Veterans Administration, developing programs and grants for veterans with mental and medical health issues.
In her clinical work and research, she has explored the varied, complex ways the mind and body interact with one another, and sought in-depth specialty training in both Health Psychology (how psychology and medical illness interact) and mindfulness-based approaches. She has created and implemented integrative health programming rooted in bio-psycho-social models of health, and led multifaceted mindfulness training for clinicians and doctoral students.
Originally from Los Angeles, Hilary is passionate about art, history, travel, and nature.
