Paula J. Gilroy

I am a licensed psychologist retired from 30+ years of clinical practice at the University of Northern Iowa Counseling Center. I worked intensively with young adults who sought treatment for mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, family issues, LGBTQ questions/concerns, grief, and loss. As the Assistant Director for Training, I provided individual and group supervision for graduate students as well as faculty seeking licensure. I offered consultation services to parents concerned about their young adults. I co-authored a wide range of scholarly articles with particular interest in the impact of mood disorders on mental health providers and on their clinical work. I presented the research findings at national conferences. My hobbies include reading, music, caring for animals, and photography. I am the proud parent of an emerging adult and I live in Iowa with my husband and our menagerie of three dogs, five cats, and one rabbit.
