About
Hello, I am Craig Gibbs a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for over 20 years supporting the growth and development of children, teens and adults who might be struggling with challenges that interfere with daily functioning. My approach to working with you is relational in nature while providing a strengths-based person-centered approach to mental wellness. You are the expert in your life, I am a trained guide to help you get through rough spots. My approach I strongly believe that we are all resilient by nature and from time to time need support to tap into who we are and how we can access our best selves to get through challenges in our lives. I have extensive training in Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychotherapy and take a systems approach to working with clients. My focus I primarily work with teens, families and adults. I have extensive experience working to address anxiety, stress, depression, bi-polar disorder and family dynamics. Mental health challenges can often have an impact on our families and other relationships. I have helped many in my practice to improve their relationship with themselves and those in their life. My communication style I pride myself on brining a commonsense approach to therapy. I quickly develop safety for clients through clear communication, non-judgmental listening, sensitivity and humor. Therapy is a partnership between you and your therapist, you are the expert in your experiences, I'm a relative expert in mental health, human behavior and evidence-based approaches to address positive mental health and life challenges that can sometimes get in the way of feeling your best. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been fascinated with the human condition and how individuals and different cultures navigate life. Even as a child with three siblings I found myself being a helper and wanting to see people happy in their lives and supporting others to get through tough time.
