Theresa is so kind and warm and I felt very seen and heard by her. She gave me material to work outside of the sessions so I could dig deeper on specific subjects. She is so knowledgeable on so many subjects that I wanted to grow in. I felt like I learned so much in my short period of time working with her. She heard me out, gave me space to share and help me during a tough time.

Theresa Gibson was a good pick for me and we hit it off immediately with our first chat session. She offered valuable ideas and suggestions based on the needs I had presented so I could effect changes to problems I was experiencing. I am happy with Theresa and our outcomes. I will be sticking with her as my counselor with hopes of getting deeper into issues such as trauma and anger management.
Written on May 19, 2020 after therapy with Theresa for 3 weeks on issues concerning anger management
I only had 2 sessions until now with Theresa, but I think that 2 sessions its also enough to leave a review of how wonderful and great help has Theresa been to me. She made me see things differently and she gave me explanation about things that 28 doctors I have been could not give me.
She is open to send her a message any time of the week and she reply as fast as she can, which is also a great thing.
Thank you Theresa <3

I have been working with Theresa now for quite some time, I find her very compassionate and caring. She is very knowledgeable and has a knack for uncovering the actual problems that are lurking under the surface, problems that I myself can’t always articulate very well. She has verbalized so many of my hidden problems and found a way to put them into a context that makes sense. I feel happy that Theresa is my therapist and I will gladly recommend her to anyone who needs a therapist, I think she is great!
