Family therapy and counseling 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.

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.

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.

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and complex trauma. I keep a warm, empathetic space where clients explore how thoughts and past experiences impact their mood and overall well-being. I genuinely value connection and collaboration in the therapeutic relationship.
