She brings experience supporting parenting and family challenges, self-esteem and body image issues, social anxiety and isolation, impulsivity and anger, and coping with trauma or life shifts.
Dr. Cabuhat also addresses topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, mood disorders, self-harm, and young adult issues, tailoring interventions to fit individual circumstances.
