John Gilbert

John Gilbert is a licensed clinician with three decades of clinical experience who blends clinical training, creative modalities, and a history of work across institutional and private settings. He has held roles ranging from work in the state hospital system to running a private practice, and he is a former music therapist and a Certified Hypnotherapist (CHt).

He is credentialed as CA LMFT 37413, which identifies him as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, and his background also includes an MBA. John brings creativity and a broad base of experience to each therapeutic session, applying approaches suited to the individual’s needs.

John specializes in personal development, relationship issues, family-held businesses, adolescents, and chronic pain. He also works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, career concerns, depression, addictions, parenting, self-esteem, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

John often frames therapy as a way to move beyond limiting patterns and past hurts. He believes many people are held back by negative feelings, past life events, and fear, and that proper treatment can free them to build the life they want.

Because of his level of licensure, letters beyond verification of treatment are rarely given weight. If treatment will require documentation, prospective clients should confirm that his licensure as a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (CA LMFT 37413) is acceptable to the requesting party so he can meet their documentation needs.
