Therapists in Long Beach, CA
My name is Hope Gibbons; I'm Native American/Hispanic and offer a culturally sensitive, empathetic, nonjudgmental compassionate approach to therapy. I hope to offer a space of acceptance, positive regard, and openness. I have experience working with many populations, particularly with trauma, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and substance use. I strongly believe the client is the expert in their own treatment and the best narrator of their own story. I believe in the power of an individual's resilience and a desire to persevere.

You’re not broken—you’ve just been carrying a lot on your own, often invisibly, with no one truly seeing it. Whether it’s challenges in relationships—with family, friends, colleagues, or partners—stress at work, or the unresolved weight of past experiences, therapy can help you create space to find clarity, calm, and direction.
I offer early morning to early afternoon sessions (starting as early as 5 am), ideal for those who want support before the demands of the day take over. These quiet hours can be a grounding time to reflect, reset, and reconnect with yourself—without having to squeeze therapy into an already packed schedule.

I am most passionate about working with individuals who are motivated to do therapeutic work; who are willing to explore themselves and take action toward desired change. I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety and low mood which may look like a lack of self-confidence; feeling stuck; sense of overwhelm; guilt; shame; disconnection from self and others; and sometimes a general longing for more joy and sense of purpose in day to day life. It can be challenging to balance all life’s conflicting obligations while also making sure not to lose sight of yourself.

Welcome to our space! I recognize the effort It takes to see inside and looking for a therapist. With intergenerational(trauma), we learn to exist as a way to survive and move along life with little meaning. Still, we can transform that which no longer helps but harms. The journey of self-discovery and healing is one of most precious gifts we ca do for ourselves and our lineage. We may seek therapy to have healthier relationships with ourselves, partners, and others; feeling safer; reclaiming our identity; thrive authentically in the world; reparent our inner child; connect to our path in this lifetime; and healing the soul.

I will collaborate with you to find the most effective way for you to connect with your strengths, heal and move forward toward your goals. The setting I strive to create is one of support, safety and caring.

I provide psychotherapy services to clients to help them explore their lives and find meaning in their relationships. I work to empower and encourage clients to be more self-aware, explore their feelings, and improve their ability to navigate their experiences. I like to explore a variety of therapeutic modalities to find what best suits each client as every client is different and one size does not fit all when it comes to treatment. I like to listen to my clients and ensure that what I'm hearing is what they are saying. I also like to let them know they have choices, especially since it's their well-being that we are discussing.

My clients often enter therapy with beliefs like “I'm not enough,” "I'm a failure" or “My needs don't matter." Trauma seeds these beliefs. I help my clients remove them at their roots. Imagine your life without the belief that you are not enough. Our journey together is moving toward that life. Most of my clients enter therapy living fear-based lives. Trauma does that. Fear-based living looks like doubt, fearing judgment, avoiding risks & expecting to be hurt. Love-based living is living with intention, trust and self compassion. Therapy is the bridge between the two.
