Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in West Virginia

I am a board-certified psychiatrist practicing in West Virginia. My medical school training was in Huntington, WV and my residency training was in both Charleston and Huntington. My primary focus is on providing care to our LGBT+ community, particularly transgender patients.

I offer a calm, supportive space where you can feel safe, understood, and accepted just as you are. Using CBT and EMDR, I help clients gently connect the mind and body, make sense of patterns, and work through experiences that feel overwhelming. Therapy is a collaborative process where we move at your pace, building trust, insight, and tools to support healing and meaningful change.

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.

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.
