Welcome to Shoreview Therapy, where our name reflects the belief that the shore is always within reach, no matter how distant it seems. I’m dedicated to providing the lifeboat and guidance you need to see it, find it, and navigate your way there safely.

​

I’m Samantha Gibb, a trauma-focused therapist committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. I prioritize anti-sexism, anti-racism, and anti-homophobia in my practice, ensuring that every individual feels valued and respected. Inclusivity is at the heart of my approach, and I strive to create a space where everyone can thrive.

In therapy, I use evidence-based techniques like EMDR, ACT and Psychodynamic processing to address trauma and related challenges. These methods form a solid foundation for understanding and healing emotional and psychological wounds. While I do incorporate holistic practices such as Reiki and intuitive insights for those interested, my primary focus remains on practical and grounded approaches that foster real, lasting change. Reiki can aid in relaxation and energy balance, and intuitive guidance may offer additional support, but these are complementary to the core methods I use.

​

As a therapist, I believe deeply in the power of relationships and authenticity. I take a grounded, down-to-earth approach that doesn’t fit the stereotypical image of a "holistic healer." I prioritize being real with my clients, connecting on a human level, and meeting them where they’re at. I often joke that I’m a “swearword aficionado” and a coffee connoisseur—because being a therapist doesn’t mean I have to be anything other than myself. Most importantly, I genuinely care about my clients as whole humans. I truly want them to thrive, and that passion drives every session and every conversation we share.

​

While my practice integrates intuitive and holistic elements, I am non-religious and do not adhere to Christian traditions. My approach is inclusive and non-denominational, focusing on creating a safe and respectful space for all identities and beliefs.

​​

For those interested in energy healing alone, I provide Reiki as a standalone service. Reiki channels healing energy to balance your body’s energy systems, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. During a Reiki session, I work with your energy field to release blockages and foster a profound sense of calm and rejuvenation. Whether you’re aiming to reduce stress, boost vitality, or explore energy healing, Reiki offers a supportive and restorative experience tailored to your needs.
