Getting to know Virginia Gibala
Hello, I am Virginia Gibala!
I'm a bilingual Spanish-speaking licensed mental health counselor with 18 years of experience providing individual, family, and couples counseling to clients in need.
I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology from Universidad Ricardo Palma in Lima, Peru, and my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Webster University. I've worked in many different clinical settings ever since. I am a passionate and empathetic therapist with strong counseling abilities and an understanding of interpersonal familial relationships. I have experience leading clients through holistic therapy to overcome anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, marital problems, and unhealthy family interactions. Through clinical experience, compassion, and empathy, I support and assist those willing to make a positive difference in their lives. I pride myself on providing a safe and supportive space to work side by side to overcome traumas and barriers. I specialize in addressing anxiety, depression, and family problems through self-awareness and a holistic method. I am fully committed to listening and offering my best professional practices to help you.
I am caring, understanding, and dedicated to my clients. You can count on my empathetic and person-centered approach toward every conversation we take part in. Thank you for taking the first step and for allowing me to be part of this very important journey.
I look forward to meeting you!
