Bart Gibson, LCISW
Our Founder
Shenandoah Therapy Group was founded by Bart Gibson, a licensed clinical social worker, US Army Veteran, foster and adoptive father to 8 sons, and father to a daughter with profound level 3 autism.
Before entering his home, each of his sons came from CPS-involved situations marked by abuse, neglect and significant trauma. Many carried complex diagnoses, including severe ADHD and other behavioral and emotional challenges. Parenting through layered trauma, attachment disruption, and neurodevelopmental differences has not only shaped his family-it has profoundly shaped his clinical lens.
His daughter, who lives with profound autism requiring substantial support, further deepened his understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders, systems navigation, advocacy, and the daily realities families face beyond diagnostic labels.
These lived experiences, combined with formal training in evidence-based practice, provide a unique perspective: one that integrates structured clinical rigor with practical, real-world insight into trauma, attachment disruption, and neurodevelopmental complexity.
He approaches therapy with the belief that resilience can be built, skills can be learned, and families deserve both competence and compassion from the professionals that serve them.
