Hi! I go by Jess.

I completed my PMHNP program at Eastern Kentucky University in 2022. I have since worked a mix of outpatient, residential, and inpatient consultation positions focused in general psychiatry and addiction medicine.

I completed my counseling training at Marshall University and am a licensed professional counselor who truly believes in the power of connection and growth. My goal is to create a safe, caring, and supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted. Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, explore life’s challenges, and move toward the changes you want to see. I use evidence-based therapies and personalized treatment plans to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re facing life transitions, relationship struggles, or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and well-being.

⭐ I’m Shelly Lewin, LCSW/LICSW, a therapist with 31 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, identity issues, and major life transitions. I provide virtual therapy across Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, New Mexico, and West Virginia, offering accessible, evidence‐based care to clients seeking meaningful and lasting change. I have 30+ years of experience in private practice and leadership roles at organizations including:

• The Joint Commission
• Northwestern Memorial Hospital
• Kaiser Permanente
• Common Spirit
• Mount Sinai Health System

This background allows me to offer deep clinical expertise paired with practical, real‐world understanding of how people heal and grow. My approach is warm, collaborative, open‐minded, and affirming. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, I’m here to walk beside you with steady support and clinically grounded guidance. I specialize in therapy for adults experiencing:

• Anxiety & panic disorders
• Depression & mood disorders
• PTSD and trauma recovery
• Substance use and addiction
• LGBTQIA+ affirmative care
• Men’s issues & identity exploration
• Life and career transitions
• Chronic illness & long-term stress

Additional areas of expertise include: Bipolar disorder, OCD, grief & loss, workplace stress, anger management, cultural/ethnic identity issues, expat adjustment, relationship issues, family challenges, and end-of-life concerns

Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, detached, and overwhelmed by the demands of life, how to sustain healthy relationships, keep work-life balance, or simply find meaning in their daily lives. My hope is to guide you through the process, offering adaptable skills and insights along the way.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe in a whole-person approach to psychotherapy and hope to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and regain a sense of strength and purpose. Seeking help can be one of the hardest first steps, and the therapy room can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin to heal. Let's get this process started!

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.
