Gail Bibb (She/Her)

I am a psychotherapist specializing in trauma-focused treatments for adolescents, adults, and couples. I believe that most people who walk into the therapist's office have difficulties that are rooted in trauma. Most traumatic experiences happen in the context of a relationship and can also be healed in the context of a safe therapeutic relationship. Our trauma often plays out in our life through struggles with emotional eating, substance abuse, or self-harm as way to cope intolerable feelings; difficulty in intimate relationships; persistent self doubt; or overwhelming somatic feelings. When we heal our traumatic wounds, we begin to experience our self and the world in a different way. Individuals or Couples that have early childhood trauma sometimes 'reenact' their lived experiences and unprocessed feelings in the dynamic. Fears of abandonment and the common push-pull dance are ways these early wounds play out in relationships.

I believe this work is “Holistic” because we’ll take into consideration the balance of many different aspects of your life in the quest for healing, health and wholeness. This includes how you move and nourish yourself, what your relationships and community are like, your creative and spiritual practices, and an exploration of your daily rituals, habits and practices. As this guide, I seek to learn and fully understand who you are, what you believe, and how I might best be of support. In our time together, we'll look at what is (and is not) working in your life and pattern healthy, authentic ways of moving through the world, while building your capacity for feeling your feelings, resourcing self support and uncovering internal sources of relief. My hope is to bring curiosity, stability, warmth and compassion to this collaborative process, and I trust that the nature of the soul is to move towards wholeness. If you’re ready for change?
