Hello, my name is Diane Gibbs and I have been a licensed therapist, LCSW, since 2008. I have a humanistic Rogerian approach of starting where the client is. I see my role as holding a mirror up to the client in a safe supportive, and non-judgemental way as well as offering new perspectives. I am honored to align with clients and hold fast to my social work ethic. I look forward to our journey together!
