Hi there, I am Aloys. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who is committed to providing you with evidence-based compassionate mental health care with a holistic approach. I have several years experience in acute inpatient psychiatric units treating a wide variety of mental health conditions. My goal is to provide an environment of care where you feel supported, heard, and understood. We will work collaboratively in an open communication to provide you with information that will help you make the best decision for you.

“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” With over 10 years of clinical experience in psychotherapy, my goal is to help others to find the light. Congratulations on taking the hardest step of the journey with seeking help.

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.

As a psychotherapist for the last 15 years, I work with a general adult population primarily with mood disorders, adjustment related concerns, grief and loss and relational concerns.

Throughout my graduate and professional experiences, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on issues including anxiety, self-esteem and identity, stress management, and life transitions. As a mother, I also have a passion for supporting expecting and new mothers as they prepare for and adjust to expanding their families. I prioritize developing a supportive, collaborative relationship with each client, helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges.

Welcome! As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe that prioritizing mental health is one of the most important investments you can make in your overall well-being, happiness, and quality of life. Taking the first step to seek help can be difficult, so I want to commend you for being here.

I bring over 20 years of healthcare experience, including 18 years working as a nurse in mental health and substance use treatment and the past 3 years as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My practice focuses primarily on psychiatric evaluation and medication management, helping individuals find safe, effective treatment options tailored to their unique needs and goals.

I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. I understand that finding the right medication can sometimes feel overwhelming, and I work closely with my patients to develop personalized treatment plans, monitor progress, manage side effects, and make thoughtful adjustments along the way. My goal is to help you achieve meaningful symptom improvement while optimizing your overall quality of life.

In addition to my psychiatric training, I am an IAPAM Certified Weight Management Provider and a Certified Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy Provider. This additional expertise allows me to recognize the important connection between mental health, physical health, sleep, hormones, and overall wellness, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care when appropriate.

My goal is to help you gain symptom relief, improve daily functioning, and develop a sustainable path toward long-term emotional wellness and stability.
