Krista Gilbert, PHD, LMFT
Chief Executive Officer

Krista Gilbert has focused on the treatment of addiction and mental health issues for over 25 years. She obtained a Bachelor’s degree in psychology, a Master’s degree in counseling, and a Ph.D. in depth psychology with the constant focus of working compassionately with adolescents and adults who have both addiction and mental health issues. With a long history in clinical practices that are proven to be effective with this population, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, Krista concentrates on the underlying issues of co-occurring disorders such as grief, loss, and trauma, as well as organic causes that may have previously undermined successful recovery.

While pursuing her education in psychology and working in the treatment field, Krista also gained sixteen years of management experience through her work with top-ranking law firms in California and New York, where she studied specialties such as family law and mediation, corporate defense work, tax law, and employment law.

Krista’s commitment to providing the best patient care for each individual has been her guiding desire. She now brings this commitment to Michael’s House, where she believes that a truly integrated treatment approach, the best clinical practices, the excellence of clinical staff, a supportive recovery community and a healing environment comprise the foundation that is essential for success in recovery.
