Hi! I am Gene Gibbs, a trained counselor and mental health therapist. I enjoy helping people as they navigate the issues and concerns that arise as one lives from day to day. I seek to provide a sounding board that allows clients to hear what they are saying and then to process their thoughts and ideas and get a clear view of how they are heard and what it means. From the processing step I move to clarification and application. They goal is to help the client do what is helpful for them and for those with whom they interact.

Welcome! I’m Jonette Peretik, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, NCC) and the owner of Compassion and Grace Counseling in Bossier City, Louisiana. I believe healing happens in the context of safe, supportive relationships. My background has given me a unique perspective on trauma, loss, and resilience, and I bring that into my work with individuals, couples, and families. In my practice, I focus on helping people strengthen their connections—whether that means repairing broken trust, navigating painful patterns of guilt or shame, or learning to communicate in ways that bring closeness instead of distance. I also support parents and caregivers who are balancing their own well-being while caring for children, partners, or aging loved ones. My style is compassionate, direct when needed, and deeply respectful of your values and lived experiences. I use an integrative approach that is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, blending evidence-based methods like DBT and EFT with a humanistic belief in every person’s capacity for growth. My goal is to help you align your inner world with your values, build stronger relationships, and create a life that feels meaningful and whole.

Have you ever felt shame, depression, hopelessness, a feeling of being lost, grief, and/or unsettling emotions stemming from unprocessed trauma? My clients come to me to help create the best versions of themselves, to process trauma related symptoms, to find motivation to take action on their values and goals, as well as to overcome the many stressors and traumas that life can bring. I strongly encourage you to reach out so that I can assist you with your journey towards wellness. I believe in creating a judgment-free zone within the counseling process, through the help of acceptance, empathy, genuineness, and unconditional positive regard. I specialize in trauma counseling, addiction counseling, and grief/loss counseling. In my practice, I use a humanistic approach to build a therapeutic relationship, that is integrated with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I believe that every person possesses the ability to overcome and persevere through life’s stressors and challenges. I became a counselor to help assist people in finding hope, courage, and motivation to act on their life goals. I love helping people get unstuck, helping people find light in their darkest days, and I love meeting people from diverse cultures and unique walks of life. Trust, Empathy, and unconditional Acceptance are how I would describe my therapeutic philosophy. I have professional training in using EMDR Therapy to help clients process their trauma, reduce their anxiety related symptoms, reduce their symptoms of depression, as well as overcoming various addictive behaviors. Please reach out to me so that I can assist you in your next step towards healing.

I’m Mariam Saibu, a somatic mental health therapist specializing in women’s mental health and the unique ways trauma, stress, and mood challenges show up in both mind and body. My goal is to create a supportive and empowering space where you can begin to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. I hold a Master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and maintain specialized licenses in trauma, addiction, and vocational counseling. Over the years, I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, and state agency settings, providing care for children, adolescents, and adults. These experiences gave me the opportunity to treat a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, self-esteem struggles, substance use, and career transitions. I have also supported individuals on the autism spectrum in building social and behavioral skills to thrive in both employment and relationships. While I have worked with diverse populations, my passion lies in supporting women—particularly those navigating trauma, mood dysregulation, and life changes. I am licensed to practice in Georgia and Texas. I integrate my background in both biology and counseling to take a holistic approach to care. By weaving together somatic practices with evidence-based therapies, I help clients address how trauma and stress impact the body as well as the mind. In our work together, you can expect compassion, collaboration, and respect. My role is to walk alongside you, providing tools and insight to help you move forward while creating a safe environment for growth. Whether you’re seeking to manage trauma, improve mood and self-esteem, or find clarity in life’s transitions, I am here to support you in creating meaningful, lasting change.

Search therapists by insurance

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Texas rather than a city like Dallas?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Texas from Houston to Austin! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Texas.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Coping Skills?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Coping Skills, is filtering therapists in Texas that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
