I believe each individual has the potential to work through life's challenges. I view difficulties as opportunities in which our pain often signals something needs our attention so that we can address it, change and grow. I have Master's degree in Social Work from NYU and spent ten years working with adults struggling with substance abuse. I have also worked with adolescents and their families. Currently, I work with adults who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationships issues such as infidelity and repairing intimacy. Learning to better understand how the subconscious often dictates more of our behaviors than we realize can be very helpful in making better decisions. I believe everyone can learn from their past and better understand their mistakes in order to live more meaningful and productive lives. I also believe that pain and trauma do not have to hold us back and that there is way to find comfort and strength in order to move on.

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


My name is Jen, and I am a LCSW-C and Maryland board certified clinical supervisor with over 25 years of experience as a clinician. My clinical experience spans community psychiatric care, inpatient settings, non-traditional healing practices, spiritual exploration, mind body connections, and holistic total whole person healing across all aspects of the human experience. Our work together is to help women recover from mental illness, addiction, and feeling stuck in their lives.

I specialize in a whole-health approach to mental health, drawing on brain energy theory and the emerging field of metabolic psychiatry, recovery, and neuroscience. I work within recovery 12-step frameworks that explore shame and toxic self belief systems. I prefer to work with women who are ready for a real shift in how they think about their health, life, and what it means to be a human living and being. I work with female adults of all backgrounds.

Credentials: LCSW-C, Maryland board certified clinical supervisor.

Derrick Gibson

Derrick Gibson

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


My name is Derrick C. Gibson — Licensed Professional Counselor, Elder at Brookside Ministry Church of God in Christ International, and someone who has spent his career showing up for people that many systems had already written off. I hold dual Master's degrees in Guidance and Counseling and Education from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and my work has taken me deep into Kanawha County, West Virginia — into the schools, into the judicial system, and into the lives of families navigating some of the hardest circumstances imaginable. I've worked with domestic abuse survivors, sexual abuse survivors, at-risk youth, and individuals managing anger — not from a distance, but up close, with real investment in real outcomes. I also serve as a Christian Counselor, which means faith is not a footnote in my practice — it's woven into the foundation. If you're looking for a counselor who brings both clinical training and a grounded spiritual perspective, you've found one.
