About Lamar:

I’m Lamar Gibson, a dedicated Clinical Mental Health Counselor committed to helping adolescents, adults, and families achieve greater self-understanding and personal growth. I am passionate about guiding individuals through life’s challenges and supporting them in developing healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and living. With a foundation in compassion, insight, and evidence-based practices, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can discover their strengths and move toward lasting positive change.

Education:

I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Grand Canyon University in 2024, where I strengthened my skills in evidence-based practice and developed a deep commitment to supporting individuals on their journey toward growth and healing.

Experience:

Throughout my training, I gained valuable hands-on experience as a counselor at Luxe Treatment Center—one of the top-rated addiction treatment facilities on the West Coast—where I supported individuals working toward recovery from substance use disorders. I also provided mental health care in a correctional setting, offering guidance and support to incarcerated individuals coping with severe mental illnesses and personality disorders.

These experiences have strengthened my understanding of mental health as a complex and deeply personal journey shaped by psychological, social, and environmental influences. My clinical background includes a generalist approach, incorporating cognitive-behavioral techniques, grief counseling, and trauma-informed care to meet each client’s unique needs.
