Rehabilitation Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow
Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Healthcare System; Harvard Medical School, Center for Mindfulness and Compassion
Dr. Estey is a bicultural, bilingual Latinx licensed psychologist, senior instructor, and yoga and meditation teacher at Harvard Medical School and the Center for Mindfulness and Compassion in Cambridge, MA. She is a recent Rehabilitation Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow at Veteran Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System, affiliate of Stanford University School of Medicine. She specializes in the application of integrative, yoga, mindfulness, and compassion-based approaches in rehabilitation (e.g., acquired and traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, medical conditions), trauma recovery, and mental performance. She offers mind-body approaches in clinical treatment for military service members, including special operations forces, and Spanish-speaking populations, as well as formal mindfulness-based programs in community settings - seeking to support individuals' inherent capacity to adjust after trauma/injury, perform optimally, and thrive. Her research encompasses the mechanisms of mindfulness and yoga-based practices for self-regulation, resilience, flourishing, peak performance, and positive embodiment. She has contributed to book chapters, articles, and has published in scientific journals. She has been invited to present on her research and on evidence-based application of contemplative practices at national and international conferences.
