Dr Marinda Joubert – Specialist Psychiatrist – Garsfontein

Dr Marinda Joubert, Specialist Psychiatrist in Garsfontein at Mediclinic Denmar Mental Health Services, blends expertise with empathy to guide patients toward lasting wellness. After earning her MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 2005, she completed internships and community service at leading Pretoria hospitals. Then she achieved FC Psych(SA) fellowship in 2011 and her MMed (Psych) in 2012, refining skills across adult, geriatric, and child psychiatry.

Moreover, Dr Joubert introduced family-inclusive care pathways that invite relatives into therapy sessions. In addition, she spearheaded the practice’s adoption of digital outcome measures—such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7—in 2014 to adjust treatments in real time. Consequently, she mentors trainee psychiatrists and co-chairs weekly clinical-governance workshops that elevate care standards. Driven by a bio-psycho-social framework, she integrates evidence-based psychopharmacology with cognitive-behavioural and psychodynamic therapies. Ultimately, her approach empowers adults to rebuild resilience and navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
