Healing Within Therapy
Hi, I’m Gay Gibson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Healing Within Therapy. Since launching Healing Within Therapy in 2021, I’ve drawn on over 24 years of experience in mental health to help individuals and families heal from trauma, move through emotional pain, and reconnect with their inner strength.
​
I believe that you are the expert of your life. My role is to walk alongside you, offering compassionate support, therapeutic tools, and evidence-based care as you navigate challenges, process the past, and move forward with confidence. My approach to therapy is holistic, trauma-informed, and personalized. I blend client-centered techniques with integrative modalities to meet your unique emotional and mental health needs. As a Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, I incorporate this powerful, evidence-based therapy into our work to support recovery from PTSD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, addiction, and other trauma-related concerns.
​
I’m here to help you feel more empowered, self-aware, and grounded, so you can build a life rooted in resilience and authenticity.
Your healing starts here.
"Healing is not about changing who you are; it’s about changing your relationship to who you are."
Suzanne Heyn

​No Surprise Act
The No Surprises Act (NSA) establishes federal protections against surprise medical bills. You have the right to receive a ‘Good Faith Estimate’ explaining how much your medical care may cost. ​Under the law, health care providers must give patients who do not have insurance, or who are not using insurance, a cost estimate of the bill for medical items and services.​
​Can I receive services if I live in another state?
Unfortunately, No, you must be residing in the state of Virginia in order to be eligible for psychotherapy services.
