In addition to offering a clinical approach informed by 33 years of practice in the United States, Canada and Europe, Dr. Dimitrova takes a proactive approach to helping people connect with resources in the community for their needs. She has spent much of her career closely collaborating with community agencies to create programs supporting the housing and vocational needs of her patients.

“My belief is that when I genuinely help each individual person, that helps all of us as a community,” Dr. Dimitrova explains. “The essence of my practice is a very individualized personal presence for my patients and caring for them as a whole person.”

Dr. Dimitrova earned her medical degree at the Medical University of Varna in Bulgaria in 1985. She went on to complete a residency in psychiatry at Bulgaria Medical Academy and received fellowship training in geriatric psychiatry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
