Donna Gibbs, LCMHCS

EMDRIA Certified Therapist™

Online Therapy

About Me

I am co-founder of Summit Wellness Centers, PLLC. I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (NCLCMHCS). I provide EMDR (in single sessions and intensives), among other common treatment modalities. I particularly enjoy working with high functioning individuals who have experienced challenging life circumstances and trauma, those who are moving through the challenges of an eating disorder, and those who are experiencing situational distress related to life transitions. I have a heart for those in Christian ministry and specialize in effectively integrating Christian faith into the professional counseling process.. My greatest passion is guiding clients in rhythms of resilience with a whole-person care approach, and celebrating with them as they successfully move through their challenges and come out stronger. I love spending time with family and friends, hiking in the beautiful mountains of WNC, and serving alongside mission partners internationally.

Education & Experience

I received a Bachelors degree from North Carolina State University, a Masters degree from Western Carolina University, and a PhD from Louisiana Baptist University.
