Gaby Carter, ND
As a naturopathic primary care provider, I believe health is about more than treating symptoms—it is about understanding the whole person and the experiences that have shaped their physical, emotional, and nervous system health. My approach combines evidence-informed naturopathic medicine with deep listening, curiosity, and respect for each person’s lived experience. I work collaboratively with patients to understand what is happening in their bodies while also making space for the emotional and relational dimensions of healing.
A significant part of my work involves supporting people through transitions. These may include a new diagnosis, cancer treatment or survivorship, grief and loss, changes in relationships or identity, perimenopause or simply reaching a point in life when the way you have been living no longer feels like the way you want to move forward. Transitions can be disorienting, but they can also create an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and discover what matters now.
I incorporate Brain Spotting into my work for people who want to explore experiences that may not be fully accessible through conversation alone. Brain Spotting is a brain- and body-based approach that uses visual focus and attuned presence to support the processing of emotional and somatic experiences and patterns held within the nervous system. Rather than requiring someone to repeatedly tell or analyze their story, the process allows us to pay attention to what emerges internally and follow it with curiosity.
My role is not to tell people who they should become. It is to create a compassionate, grounded space where they can listen more closely to themselves. Whether someone is navigating illness, recovery, grief, identity, relationships or an unexpected new chapter, I want them to have a place where both their physical health and their inner experience are welcome. Sometimes healing is about getting back to who you were. And sometimes it is about discovering who you are becoming. I am here to support everyone as they navigate any transition.
Dr. Gaby earned her undergraduate degree in Native American Community Development from Ohio University, with a minor in Gender Studies, before receiving her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree from the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM) in Portland, Oregon and completing advanced training in homeopathy through the New England School of Homeopathy (NESH). Her interdisciplinary education informs a whole-person approach to care that recognizes how culture, identity, community, environment, and individual experience shape health and healing.
