Hope Gibbons

My name is Hope Gibbons; I'm Native American/Hispanic and offer a culturally sensitive, empathetic, nonjudgmental compassionate approach to therapy. I hope to offer a space of acceptance, positive regard, and openness. I have experience working with many populations, particularly with trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I strongly believe the client is the expert in their own treatment and the best narrator of their own story. I believe in the power of an individual's resilience and a desire to persevere.

My approach

I've incorporated a variety of different theoretical approaches from CBT, DBT, Client-Centered, Psychodynamic, object-relational, trauma-focused, family systems, solutions-focused, and grief and loss. I have experience working with a variety of populations and believe in the client's ability to persevere.

My focus

I'm most experienced in treating depression, anxiety, substance use, grief and loss, and those with trauma, and I have worked with clients from all ages and walks of life and stages of development, from infants to seniors.

My communication style

I strive to create a direct, empathetic, and compassionate environment where my clients feel safe to openly share, grow and evolve.

My journey to mental healthcare

My career in mental health began with my own journey in therapy and evolved into a desire to pass on that healing and corrective experience. There is something amazing and beautiful in being a witness to human resilience and holding space for those with a drive to push forward, evolve and find healing exactly where they are with a continuing belief they will grow to the place they are universal and distinctively meant to be.

My goals for you

I believe in open collaboration with clients to set their own goals and hold a strong belief in the client's ability to identify their own strengths and needs.

My first session with you

A compassionate and empathic ear. I want to hear your story as you've experienced it and know what role I can play in helping you evolve and heal.
