I have a wide range of experience in various clinical and therapeutic settings. I specialize in working with children and adults with depression/anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, serious mental illness, lgbtq+, crisis intervention, intellectual and developmental disabilities (including Autism Spectrum Disorders), as well as traumatic brain injuries. I primarily enjoy working best with youth or adults in individual therapy sessions. I am NOT currently accepting any new COUPLE THERAPY clients at this time.
Welcome! I’m Beth, a licensed Professional Counselor. Life brings unexpected challenges, but you don't have to navigate them alone. Over the past six years, I have walked alongside clients of all ages—including children, adults, and families—as they work through anxiety, grief, trauma, and addiction & recovery
I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust and genuine understanding. My focus is to help you build resilience, gain clarity, and find practical strategies that bring hope and lasting balance to your life.
Hello and congratulations for taking the first and sometimes hardest step of looking for a therapist. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of IN, KY LA, MO, NV, TX, WA and WV. I have the great privilege of working with adolescents and adults seeking assistance in improving their overall mental health and associated challenges. I’ve been in the behavioral health arena for over 40 years and have held numerous direct care and clinical leadership roles in a variety of settings. My joy comes from helping people navigate life's challenges.
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.
Hi there! So glad you’re here! I am taking new clients despite the calendar showing no availability. Headway is now charging clinicians to use the online calendar option so please email [email protected] if you would like to get started. I know firsthand what it feels like to have the pressure of life’s expectations on your shoulders as a young professional, spouse, athlete and career driven individual and want to support you through this stage of life. I am an advocate for an active lifestyle having a history in competitive sports and bodybuilding and understanding that finding your identity and power after a shift can be difficult. I hope to offer my clients a place where all parts of us can intersect. While I have a special interest in trauma work, other areas of focus include life transitions, high stress, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship recovery, and mental performance in both career and athletic environments. I primarily offer Telehealth therapy services, but look forward to speaking engagements, and partnerships that elevate mental health and lifestyle, and also enjoy mentoring, writing and speaking.
I often use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and strengths-based approaches and am now also able to offer Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR) under consultation while becoming fully EMDRIA trained. I am a West Virginia University School of Social Work graduate and also hold Master’s degrees in Law and Legal Studies and Public Administration.
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, or compulsive behaviors, you don't have to face it alone. Change is possible, and healing starts with taking the first step.
Hi, I'm Jessica, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in West Virginia. For 16 years, I've helped adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges through individual, group, and family counseling. I provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted by worry, weighed down by past experiences, or stuck in patterns they want to change. Together, we'll explore what's holding you back, build practical coping skills, and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and create a life that feels more balanced, connected, and fulfilling. If you're ready to take the next step, I'd be honored to support you on your journey.
