Jillian Holbrook graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle, with College Honors and a double degree in neuroscience and psychology. She currently works as a Suicide Care Coordinator and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Trainer at Portland DBT Institute.
During her time at the University of Washington, Jillian served as a research assistant in the Sibley Lab at Seattle Children’s Research Institute and completed an undergraduate honors thesis on the role of ADHD self-identification in coaching structure and practices under the guidance of Dr. Margaret Sibley. She collaborated on the U.S. National Survey on ADHD Coaching and continues to contribute to research on ADHD coaching. Jillian is interested in the unique identities of ADHD coaches and how ADHD coaching can diversify or augment existing care strategies, including its potential to increase access to support.
Her additional interests span clinical psychology, neuropsychiatric care, and health equity. She hopes to continue her professional development and pursue a long-term career as a physician–researcher.
