I am Sterling Gibson; a seasoned therapist who has been in the mental health field for the past 20 years. Im not a therapist as a job, but as my calling. My motto is: "Your Dreams are the blueprint to your success". I am a veteran that fought in operation Enduring Freedom during 9/11. As a result, I have fought and overcome my own set of emotional and mental health setbacks as a returning combat vet. With that said, I am equipped with a special skill set to to help inspire, motivate, and help clients to navigate various struggles they be dealing with. When a client is ready to face the issues that are impacting them, then this soldier is ready to answer the call.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session I conduct a bio, psycho-social that gives me a breif description of the following areas of the clients life : 1) mental history/family mental health history; 2) medical history; 3) upbringing; 4) current struggles; 5) potential treatment plan goals/future steps
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a provider reside in the collection of the turbulent upbringing that I survived in inner city Philadelphia as a youth, having been a combat war vet, working with inner city youth , and as a standup comic as an adult. I take a piece from every one of those listed experiences and use them to make me a sensible provider, a compassionate provider, a resilient provider, a good listener, and a tenacious provider.
