Getting to know James Gibson

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty years of experience as a clinical therapist primarily working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I've received my bachelor's and master's degrees in social work. I work with many diverse and ethnic populations from a variety of backgrounds. Take the first step. Many times, it's easier to have a short, open discussion to see if one feels comfortable with a clinician before starting a professional relationship. There is a free, no-obligation call with me to see if there is a connection to proceed with a professional therapeutic relationship. This is the first step. My approach Many times, life can have many obstacles that we often feel we are unable to overcome or find a solution. My goal would be to help “you” find an inner belief and strength. I try to establish everlasting relationships with others to help keep us emotionally, mentally, and physically better with self-confidence. I have faith and confidence that we can overcome the issues at hand. I built trust, confidence, and established rapport from our initial session. I ask for a lot of reflection on matters, set realistic goals, and maintain accountability for goals. Returning to a state of normalcy is the end goal as defined by you. My focus I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or anxiety related to their work or relationships. During our initial sessions, we will delve gradually into the issues at collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter." I have over 20 years of experience helping adults, teens, couples, and families in therapy. I'm a Certified Divorce Mediator, certified in Trauma-Focused CBT, and certified in Project Fatherhood and Project Parenthood.
