“David is awesome and very helpful”

“Listens and dissects then proposes multiple options for progress in becoming a better person.”

“David provides insights and validation that assists me in feeling heard and understood as well as guides and reinforces the goals that I have established for myself.”

“David has been there every step of the way through my therapy journey the last 3 years. In those three years he has taken the time to really understand who I am, what I am goin through, and what my tendencies are when reacting to certain situations in my life. He is exceptional at giving me guidance and comfort in the forms of sharing his own/others life experiences, scientific studies/facts, light hearted jokes/conversation, and always listening intently. I now consider David a friend and always look forward to our sessions!”

“David Gibbs is a good and well rounded therapist who has helped me a lot in sorting out some of my thoughts and helping me with some of my problems. I didn't feel any sort of political or personal bias from him so I think just all around, he is disciplined in just trying to focus on the problems at hand and I recommend him. I feel lucky to have been able to work with him.”

“He is very kind, relatable, and warm. Makes it easy to open up and share without feeling judged and always has suggestions.”

“I feel lucky to have found dr. Gibbs as my therapist! Lots of great info and support over the last few years”

“I’ve had a great experience with David. He listens and offers great input.”

“Good”

“He helped me overcome my need to self medicating ways years ago. To this day I carry the help he gave me. Reaching back out to work thru life now I feel like we are picking right back up where we left off. He is VERY understanding and speaks with a soft tone and makes me feel heard and understood. I would highly recommend him to someone that needs a light for their path”

“David is wonderful. I appreciate his kind manner and overall demeanor. He listens when I talk a lot and talks when I don’t have much to say. My main concern with finding a therapist was my past experiences felt very clinical and very “so how does that make you feel” and I really don’t do well with that type of interaction. David always feels like someone I know who I can talk to about whatever I want or need to. He’s helped me tremendously in a very difficult time.”

“David Gibbs has been really helpful and I have been able to open up to him about things I couldn’t with other people. Since starting therapy with him my mental health has improved drastically. He is extremely knowledgeable and can name problems and strategize a plan for how to tackle them, and he is kind and listens very well.”

“As an abused, broken, and fearful of change person I have found it very difficult to trust anyone or open up to them. Speaking with David was like telling your best friend of 35-40 years your personal struggles without judgement. Thank You.”

“David is sincere, empathetic, caring, honest and a wonderful listener. He also offers insight on how to utilize many different options to improve one’s quality of life!”

“David listens to both sides and gives very thoughtful and useful insight. He is very way to open up to and provides realistic solutions and advice.”
