Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in West Virginia

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! I go by Jess.

I completed my PMHNP program at Eastern Kentucky University in 2022. I have since worked a mix of outpatient, residential, and inpatient consultation positions focused in general psychiatry and addiction medicine.

I became a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner because I genuinely believe that everyone deserves support that feels real — not rushed, not clinical, and never one-size-fits-all.

I’m really glad you’re here. As a Licensed Behavioral Health Therapist, I believe caring for your mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in yourself. Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a powerful first step toward healing and change.

With over 10 years of experience, I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, substance use disorders, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, and eating disorders. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and understood—without judgment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who also holds Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy certification (TF-CBT) as well Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor certification (AADC).

My name is Joe Hughes and I have over 18 years of experience working with people who suffer from mental illness.
