About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC) that works with adults. and I am licensed in the state of Oregon with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and life coach. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges.
I hold a Masters of Science Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University, and a Bachelors of Science Degree in Psychology from the University of Phoenix.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution Focused therapy and motivational interviewing. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and you have taken the first steps towards a change by enrolling with a counselor/therapist. Change will take some work on your part, but I will be there to guild you along the way. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!
Gilbert (Gib) McEwen MS, LPC, NCC

Gib has been great. Strikes the right balance between listening and empathizing, while also moving toward a solution and reaching decisions, action steps.

Gib is a great counselor - 10/10

Written on Oct 17, 2022 after therapy with Gilbert for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Gilbert showed disrespect towards me during couples counseling. He stated that I shouldn't always confide in my partner when I'm feeling low. And because we don't live together, even if he goes back on his word to spend time with me, I should respect his time with his friends. He said I sounded ungrateful after my partner complained that he took us out to a fancy dinner to celebrate his new job and we still argued a day later, because I said I would've been happy with a kraft Mac and cheese dinner. I felt extremely shamed, and smaller than a bug after our session. There was no support or encouragement. Just shame and ridicule.

Gilbert has been great for both of us and think he has great applicable advice and input from a third party perspective.

Gib is a fantastic therapist. Objective and is very understanding. Some therapist can come off as condescending, while others like Gib can level and communicate their thoughts without coming off as accusatory or demeaning. He is very communicative and responds to any messages, and often reaches out to make sure we’re doing alright.

Great app, this is great way to have some support when traditional ways are outdated.

I am going thru alot and I really like how he approaches these serious situations. He has a straight forward approach that is done with finesse at the same time which is a talent to me. He also seems to have a high emotional intelligence paired with his high cognitive ability. I really think he can help me. I feel these kinds of wonderful therapists like him are hard to find. He sees right thru facades. Just all around very good.

We had a great experience with Gilbert. He was easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable. We did not feel like he took a side and felt he had our best interests, and relationship, in mind when working with us.

Work with me!
