About me
We spend so much of our lives confused with which path to take. Feeling unsure of our past, present, and future choices is something that we can all relate to. There are distractions in every flavor and color, clouding our ability to see things clearly. This can lead us to feel depressed, fearful, and angry. Counseling offers a unique opportunity to gain perspective and learn the skills that can help us blaze our own path. Too often we feel like we’re in the back seat, like anyone but us have their hands on our wheel. Through the therapeutic process, we can regain control and reclaim our place as the author of our own stories. Sometimes we can feel like our relationship problems we experience with our significant other are too complicated or too long standing to fix and sort out, but what we often find is that the addition of an unaligned third party is exactly what the relationship needed to be functional again. It is important to know that my therapeutic allegiance is with the relationship its self, which means that I will never, "take sides".
During my time at the University of Central Oklahoma I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. During my time at UCO I also worked at a children’s and adult crisis unit where I learned the importance of forming meaningful therapeutic relationships in someone’s time of need. Harmonizing theory and relationship building is only one of my tasks as a counselor. We will cover concepts such as cross-generational trauma, existential meaning, the connection between thought, feeling, and behavior, and more. Through our work in counseling, you will have the opportunity to understand your place in your system, what that means, and how to live the best life possible. Finding a quiet mind in the storm. I feel comfortable working with all ages, gender expressions, sexual orientations, religions, and problems. I look forward to meeting you where you are and helping you get to where you want to be.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Justin Gibbons. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Our experience was Justin has been a positive one, he is a thought provoking guy who communicates very well, he does not rake sides, he's encouraging, supportive, provides great feedback, asks questions and seems like he is down to earth.
Justin’s a good dude, who is very attentive to detail. I have great faith in him to help my partner and I!
Justin is amazing! We have just started, but going in feeling uncomfortable and thinking there is no possible way our marriage can last to now feeling like maybe there is some hope. Some reading between the lines might have to be done, but I’m hopeful! He is an excellent listener and picks up on cues. He provides lots of insight and some homework so in the between times we remain thinking of the task ahead.
Justin has done absolutely wondrous things for myself and my partner to not only feel more secure in our relationship, but more secure in ourselves as well. He asks questions, listens, understands, and interprets our feelings for us in such a way that helps us understand ourselves better. I can't thank him enough for the benefit has brought to our lives!!
