Getting to know Ebony Gums
Hello, my name is Ebony. I am licensed in Minnesota with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, as well as relationship issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. I am here to support and empower you on that journey. When I am not practicing therapy, I enjoy spending time with my family, my dog Saweetie, and traveling.
My approach
I try to meet my clients where they are with an open, flexible, and nonjudgmental approach. Each session provides an opportunity for rapport and trust to be established while creating a safe space. I like to incorporate a strength-based approach along with cognitive behavioral therapy to meet your needs.
My focus
I graduated with my undergraduate degree in Social Work from the College of St. Scholastica. I went on to complete my master's in Social Work from Augsburg University, both in Minnesota. I have worked in different capacities as a licensed clinical social worker and have vast experience working with people from various backgrounds and needs.
My communication style
My communication style is open and respectful. I strive to create a space where I am clear and direct with my clients. I like to structure my sessions to be collaborative and engaging.
My journey to mental healthcare
I enjoy knowing that I can use my empathy and compassion to offer support during challenging times. I believe I have many valuable skills that help me succeed as a mental health counselor.
My goals for you
My approach to setting goals with my clients is collaborative and actively engaging throughout the process. Being intentional ensures the goals are applicable to what clients need and hope for in their future.
