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.

Therapist

Virtual • Maryland


Even though you may be struggling with something right now, you can choose to see it in a new way... which can lead to changing your relationship to it... which can lead to real transformation. Everything you need is already within you. My role is to help you access it, and use it.

It is hard to be vulnerable in therapy. And while I don't yet know your story, I do know that if you are considering therapy, you are already doing the hard work of introspection. It takes courage to seek out more for yourself. You have my respect and my empathy, and I would love to be part of your journey of healing and discovery.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Germantown, MD

Searching for therapists in Germantown starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or family therapy. Provider bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may include, and who they commonly work with.

Germantown is a smaller market within Montgomery County, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Maryland cities. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a Maryland-licensed therapist. Some people prefer an office setting near Germantown, Middlebrook, Walnut Hill, or other nearby areas, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. When narrowing your search, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, free consultation options, and the details in each profile that speak to communication style and fit.

Therapy in Germantown can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer clear availability. You can browse profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
