Maria Gaum
I am a licensed professional counselor, currently licensed in West Virginia and South Carolina, with 10+ years of clinical work experience in both intensive outpatient group therapy and individual therapy with adults with serious mental health diagnoses to develop and improve coping skills to manage life- and mental health related stressors. I work with clients to improve skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, history of adverse childhood experiences and attachment rupture. I am well versed in trauma therapy and in accompanying clients to come to terms with past trauma. I also work with clients to develop skills to cope with life changes such as loss of role, changes in health, and adjusting to developmental stages in adult life. I have experienced and seen the benefits of a warm therapeutic relationship in creating change in clients, and the importance of engaging clients to recognize their existing strengths and skills that can be applied to manage stressors, overcome challenges, and to improve quality of life. I use a variety of theoretical treatment approaches as it fits the client - no one theory fits all. I will work with you to develop a therapeutic language that resonates with you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and you have taken that first step! I am looking forward to work with you!

Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process! Many clients have told me that I become quickly familiar, with a direct but laid-back, humorous and easy to interact with personality. In therapy, you'll be learning about YOU! A lot. Past, present, future. That's actually why this whole thing is going to work. You probably won't actually realize it's been like an hour when we talk, but probably will realize you learned new things between each session. Therapy can sometimes be mentally, emotionally and physically tiring, as well as energizing; but usually those are good signs of accomplishment! You know yourself the best, and are always in control of your treatment, and I respect that.

Timothy Nichols
About Me Hello, I'm a licensed psychologist based in West Virginia, and I’m eager to help you navigate life’s challenges with understanding, compassion, and respect. I obtained my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology in 1989 and have been serving individuals through "pastoral counseling" and psychotherapy ever since. My experience spans a broad range of issues, including anxiety, stress, parenting struggles, anger management, and depression. I believe in creating a safe, open, and nonjudgmental space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. Whether you're facing daily stresses or more profound emotional struggles, I’m here to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing. In addition to my clinical background, I bring a rich and diverse set of life experiences that inform my approach to therapy. As a military veteran, I understand the unique challenges that come with service, and during my time stationed in Italy, I studied at the University of Maryland (European Division) and learned to speak Italian. My language skills were later rated "fluent" by U.S. government testing, even ten years after I left the military. This experience, along with my work as an adjunct instructor and Director of a federal program for disadvantaged students at Potomac State College of West Virginia University for over 20 years, has given me the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of people from different cultures, social groups, and backgrounds. Throughout my life, I’ve also been deeply involved in my local community. I served as Chair of the local PTA and School Improvement Council, helping to improve educational opportunities for children. For over 10 years, I was the director of the West Virginia Christian Youth Camp, where I guided young people in their personal and spiritual growth. In addition to my professional and community work, I have an interest in music and the arts. I performed for two seasons with the West Virginia Symphony Chorus and currently sing with a Barbershop Chorus in Huntington, West Virginia. I also enjoy writing, and I’ve authored a fictional novel about the 12th West Virginia Infantry—my great-grandfather’s regiment—in the American Civil War. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but I want you to know that no matter where you’re coming from, you will find a supportive, understanding space with me. I offer my years of experience, training, and a wealth of life experiences to guide you in your journey toward healing. Together, we’ll work on building a path forward that aligns with your personal values, strengths, and goals. I look forward to walking this journey with you.

Jasmine DeBeary
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, serving clients in LA, OR, PA, VA, WV, with over 14 years of experience in behavioral and mental health across various settings, including hospitals, schools, and outpatient facilities. As a Certified Trauma Professional, with extensive and ongoing training and certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I primarily treat clients with ADHD, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and trauma. My therapeutic approach is centered on tackling current issues with practical solutions that improve your well-being. It involves holding you accountable and providing the insights you need, rather than what you might want to hear. I recognize that no textbook or degree can rival first-hand experience. Bearing in mind that I may not fully grasp my client's personal experiences, I excel at offering a professional and personable perspective, maintaining an open mind, and always remembering that my clients are the experts on their own lives. The evidence-based treatment modalities that I use in session, are solely determined by my client's individual needs and personal goals. I appreciate research and utilize only evidence-based treatment modalities that have proven to be effective. Life's tough and oftentimes, the demands of daily life can become overwhelming, leading to feelings of defeat, exhaustion, and stress that impact one's relationships, job performance, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. Whatever it may be that you are going through, be encouraged to know that you certainly are not alone. I am here and I am here to help.
