David has been incredibly helpful to me over the past few months as we’ve worked together. While he did assist me in fixing my current issues, we’ve also delved deeper into the problem, allowing me to take personal steps forward in my life.

David is a great therapist who brings both empathy and experience to every session. He has a keen ability to articulate thoughtful ways to work through issues, offering not just insight, but genuine advocacy. His honesty about the realities of life is refreshing—raw at times, but always coming from a place of care and compassion.

Each session feels grounded and purposeful. We typically stay on topic, but there’s also space for moments of laughter and connection, which makes the experience feel human and relatable. David often draws from his own experiences, creating a sense of clarity and common ground that’s incredibly helpful.

I can’t recall a single session where he wasn’t positive and supportive. He truly shows up for you—and that consistency, along with his warmth and insight, makes all the difference.

David is awesome. He helped me fet to the root cause of my issue on my very 1st session. It's been over a month now and I've learned so much to help me become a better person. Highly recommended. He's all about results. He'll listen but he give you answers to your problems. Exactly what I was looking for.

Dr. Gibbs has been very patient and is very good at listening and making useful recommendations. I like that he tries to get to the root of issues as well, even more than I or anyone could do on their own!
