Karen Gibson

Our relationships bring us the greatest joy and, at times, the deepest pain.
​I am here to join you on your journey towards wholeness and flourishing.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, the primary focus of my work is with couples and families, but I also see individual clients on a limited basis.  

I understand the therapeutic process to be a collaborative endeavour between myself and my clients.  I pay attention to the whole person: thoughts, emotions, body, brain, as well as the significant shaping events and influences in ones life as we work towards achieving your goals. I strongly believe that human flourishing depends on having a right relationship with self, others, and the world.  It is a humbling privilege to be invited into the lives of others through the work of therapy.

I am married and have two adult sons.

My approach is informed by various theories and models, including:
  • Attachment Theory
  • Emotionally Focussed Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Interpersonal Neurobiology
  • & Solution Focused Therapy

​My most recent interest and training is in the area of the unique challenges faced by Neurodiverse Relationships: couples that are dealing with an ADD, ADHD, or Autism diagnosis.
