Mary Gibbons, MS, LCMFT

Mary Gibbons is a Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDRIA/EMDR Certified Therapist with over ten years of experience providing mental health and trauma services. Mary attended Oklahoma State University for her undergraduate degree, where she received a B.A. in Psychology — along with the distinction of summa cum laude. She went on to receive a Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy 2013.

Throughout her clinical career, she has worked in a variety of settings including university counseling centers, youth service and family crisis agencies, The Center for Family Services at Oklahoma State University, and in private practice. This diversity of experience has allowed Mary to work with a wide range of presenting problems as well as to provide on-site supervision of clinical interns.

Mary serves individuals, families, and couples impacted by a history of trauma and other significant life stressors. Unlike "how-to" treatments that focus on thought-life alone, Mary utilizes emotion-focused (EFT) and trauma-informed (EMDR) interventions that enable clients to gain a greater sense of emotional well-being, ability to tolerate distressing emotions, and enjoy more satisfying interactions within important relationships. Mary enjoys integrating conversations related to faith and worldview and actively incorporates the Christian faith, when requested. Mary works with clients from all faith backgrounds but has found some of her most rewarding and effective work in blending this specialized focus of EMDR trauma treatment and Christianity.

Mary is a Manhattan transplant. When she is not in the therapy room, she is busy homeschooling four girls, sewing, or hiking with her family.
