GINNY GIBSON, MFTC

Compassionate child and family therapist at Family Solutions Counseling in Golden CO

I’m Ginny – a therapist who works with children, teens, parents, women, couples and families. My work is grounded in attachment, nervous-system regulation, and understanding the relational patterns beneath emotional overwhelm, challenging behaviors, or disconnection at home. I believe therapy should feel safe, collaborative, and authentic, and I strive to create a space where everyone-children and adults alike- can show up as themselves and feel genuinely understood. 

Before I became a therapist, I spent many years in education, as a classroom teacher and behavior specialist. That experience shaped my belief that behavior is a form of communication- and that meaningful change happens when we feel safe, connected, and understood- not when we’re trying to manage symptoms on our own.

I have specialized training in Corrective Attachment Therapy (CAT) and Corrective Attachment Parenting (CAP) and work closely with caregivers throughout treatment.  I also integrate experiential, play-based interventions to support deeper emotional processing for both children and adults.

In addition to my work with families and children, I support women and couples through family planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting years.  These transitions can bring both joy and challenges, and I help families stay connected to themselves and each other as roles, identities, and attachments shift.

My goal is to provide a space where families can slow down, feel understood, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change- together.

How Can I Support You?

  • Children & Adolescents: I support children and teens experiencing anxiety, self-esteem challenges, behavioral concerns, attachment wounds, and trauma. My approach centers on helping young people feel safe, seen, and emotionally regulated, while actively involving caregivers throughout the therapeutic process.

  • Parents & Caregivers: I provide couples therapy, family therapy, and Corrective Attachment Parenting (CAP) support because I believe caregivers are central to lasting change. Together, we build tools for communication, co-regulation, attunement, boundaries, and compassionate responses that create emotional safety and secure attachment at home. 

  • Families & Couples (Perinatal & Beyond): I support couples and families during major transitions like family-planning, pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenting- as well as general family dynamics, communication issues, and long-standing relational patterns. I help partners strengthen connection, navigate role shifts, and experience parenting as a shared emotional process rather than a solo effort.

  • Trauma & Attachment Healing: With specialized training in Corrective Attachment Therapy (CAT), I work with individuals, children, and families coping with attachment disruption, early relational trauma, adoptive or foster-care challenges, or generational patterns. My approach aims to help gain an understanding of underlying relational or nervous-system patterns, and build trust, regulation, and connection.

I approach therapy with warmth, humility, and relational curiosity. I believe healing happens through connection, not isolation. If you’re seeking support- for yourself, your child, or your family- I would be honored to walk alongside you.
