Meet The Team Behind Lakes Therapy and Counseling Center

John Bacon Gilbert

During a coffee chat with my partner, we mused about our dream careers. For me, being a therapist was the clear choice – a profession that aligns perfectly with my passions and feels less like work and more like a calling.

Witnessing my clients grow and develop fills me with immense happiness. My path to therapy was diverse; I began as a shipboard firefighter in the Coast Guard as a young parent, then ventured into entrepreneurship, and even tackled IT system analysis. Now, I’m grateful to have discovered my true passion in therapy.

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing couples achieve a deeper connection than they ever thought possible. This work brings me an incredible sense of joy, peace, and purpose.

My introduction to Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) was a revelation, illuminating the patterns in my past relationships. Understanding these dynamics transformed my perspective and deepened my commitment to EFT.

My goal as a therapist is to guide you through the transformative experiences that EFT offers, much like the ones that profoundly impacted my own understanding of relationships.
