My name is Casey Gibbs, and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. My work is shaped by more than formal training; it comes from a lifetime of high-intensity environments and a deep commitment to understanding how people carry stress, trauma, and responsibility over time. Growing up in a military family, I was introduced early to structure, unpredictability, and the quiet ways pressure can live beneath the surface.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I spent over 20 years in roles that required rapid decision-making under pressure, including as a flight medic, paramedic, police officer, and firefighter. That experience continues to inform how I understand nervous system activation, burnout, and the hidden cost of being the one others rely on.

​

In my clinical work, I have spent several years working in a forensic setting with men on parole, supporting individuals navigating accountability, reintegration, and the long-term impact of trauma and high-risk environments. This work deepened my understanding of behavioral patterns, survival adaptations, and the complexity of change when someone is rebuilding their life under real-world pressure.

​

My clinical training builds on that foundation, integrating trauma-informed care, cognitive and narrative therapies, and a strong focus on interoceptive awareness - the ability to understand what your body is signaling before it becomes overwhelming. I am also trained in EMDR, which I integrate when appropriate to support deeper processing of experiences that may still be impacting you beneath the surface.
