Matthew Gibbons, LCSW

I am a compassionate therapist, LMSW, and certified yoga instructor with over 15 years of experience helping individuals reconnect with their inner strength, resilience, and authenticity. With a background in theater and a master’s degree in social work, I bring both creativity and clinical depth to my work, drawing from modalities such as CBT, Gestalt, person-centered therapy, Polyvagal theory, narrative therapy, sound healing, energy work, and movement-based practices. My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard and the belief that healing happens when people feel truly seen, safe, and understood. As the founder of Golden Vale LLC, I provide affirming, trauma-informed care—especially for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and cisgender women—offering a space where identity is honored and stories are treated with reverence. I am deeply committed to creating a therapeutic environment rooted in curiosity, compassion, and respect, where clients are empowered to explore their experiences without shame and move toward lives marked by courage and authenticity. Whether through traditional talk therapy, mindfulness, or integrative healing practices, my work centers on helping you reveal your truest, strongest self.
