Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in West Virginia

• Hi! I'm Jess.
• Reaching out for help isn't always easy. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, or simply tired of not feeling like yourself. Maybe you've been struggling for a while, or maybe you're just starting to realize that something needs to change. Wherever you are in that process, my goal is to meet you where you are, listen without judgment, and work with you to find a treatment plan that helps you feel better and move forward.
• I completed my PMHNP program at Eastern Kentucky University in 2022. Since then, I have worked in a mix of outpatient, residential, and inpatient consultation settings, with a focus on general psychiatry and addiction medicine.
• My practice is focused on helping clients ages 6-65 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. I work with people who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, frustrated, or simply like they aren't quite themselves anymore. Sometimes you may know exactly what is wrong, and sometimes you may just know that something needs to change. Either way, my goal is to help you better understand what you're experiencing and find a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
• I am also in the process of completing additional certification in autism assessment and am eager to help meet the growing need for accessible autism assessment and treatment in the near future.

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.

"Empowering people to help find their true actualized selves"- I will help support and inspire you to be the best you can be with showing and providing you skills and possibilities to facilitate more hope for the future. With experience in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, conditioning, Trauma therapy, and inner work to discover the Self and conditioning, together we will help you find your inner truth through a positive approach to help discover who you want to be.

Hi, I’m Travis Spradlin, a Licensed Professional Counselor in West Virginia. I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in 2020 with a Master of Education in Counseling and Human Development. I’ve been providing psychotherapy for the past three years and have a passion for helping people find clarity, confidence, and balance in their lives.

I’ve worked with children ages seven and older, using an eclectic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, play therapy, and humanistic/person-centered techniques. In my telehealth practice, I enjoy working most with adolescents (13 and up) and adults. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes. Taking the first step toward therapy is an important act of self-care—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you begin that journey!
