Trauma and PTSD Therapists in 33637

Hello, It will soon be great to meet you as you visit my Psychology Today webpage. I'm Jacqueline Gibb, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I work with all ages in the Tampa, Florida area. You can meet with me for an in office visit or teletherapy. Come as you are. I encourage you to take the first step of an amazing journey in psychology and embrace the understanding of how negative emotions can limit your potential to be the best you can be. My extensive training will give you emotional relief and healing that will get you moving forward to embrace positive feelings again.

One of my greatest blessings is a lifetime of service to those in need. It is my mission to facilitate a road map to self-love and actualization. I work with clients on a range of issues and operate from a strength based and empowerment framework. My therapeutic approach varies according to client need. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoeducation, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care. I offer a holistic framework of health and wellness through a collaborative approach. Please understand what is done in my office is only a part of the work. The other part is what happens outside of the office.

Have you reached a point where almost everything seems like an uphill battle? Despite your best efforts do you feel stuck, scared, alone, or hopeless? Are you afraid to share your innermost thoughts out of fear of judgement or being misunderstood while you navigate everything alone? Trust me, it is not your imagination. I am willing to meet you wherever you are in your life. You are never "too much" to be my client. I can say that, because I am looking to provide empathy, patience, and openness to all of my clients.

Do you live with a secret belief that you are unlikeable or unlovable? Are you normally able to keep it out of your mind so you feel OK, but then something happens in a friendship or relationship that brings the painful feelings back into focus? Part of you thinks that maybe if you talked with someone you could feel differently, but part of you just hopes it will pass so you don't have to think about it again. I want you to know that you are not the only one who has these beliefs and that they can change. "The only way out is through" - Robert Frost

Something just isn't right, you are not yourself. Stress, anger, worry, sadness; it is building up and you can’t seem to shake it off. Things aren't going as planned, you are stuck, and what you doing just isn't working. You may even be experiencing self-doubt or acting in uncharacteristic ways. Where did this come from? What did I do to deserve this? How did I let this get away from me? Shame, guilt, blame, and negative thoughts are evident, it is getting hard to see the bright side. Your job, relationship, family, health, or peace of mind are at risk. It is time for a change and deep down inside, you know it.

I remember the first time I decided to seek therapy. I remember the mixed emotions of anxiety, fear, being overwhelmed, not knowing what to look for, or where to go.

Don't let fear prevent you from reaching out for help with the issues you are going through. I am here to hold space for you and offer a supportive, unbiased, non-judgmental environment. I will stand by you on your healing journey as your guide. You don’t have to go through this alone.
