Nicole Gibson

My name is Nicole Gibson and I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in the state of California. My specialities are substance and behavioral addictions, dual diagnosis/co-occurring disorders, training in psychological first aid, parenting a child with special needs, and EMDR. Some of the unique things I love about myself are that I aim to be as authentic to who I am....even if that means confronting some hard truths.

The mind/body/soul (or essence of you) needs to be in alignment for there to be peak level of wellness. I speak from experience from attending therapy for a few years and I was feeling good but when I started adding things like reiki, yoga, acupuncture, etc. I was able to feel a sense of balance that I had never experienced. So, to me, therapy is just one of many types of wellness tools to consider.

I’m pretty passionate about empowering others to step into their own capabilities to heal. Even the worst of trauma can be healed with therapeutic support combined with collaboration with the client. Abuse and trauma teach people to not trust themselves or others. So I’m passionate about helping people find that trust again. I’m also passionate about mind/body/soul aligning activities such as dance, yoga, activism, etc.
