Meet Sara Gibson, LCSW, M.Ed., SEP
Somatic Therapist in Manasquan, NJ
You Can Spend Your Whole Life Working on Yourself and Forget to Actually Be Yourself.
Hi, I'm Sara.
I'm a licensed clinical social worker, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, former art teacher, and lifelong learner who believes understanding yourself is wonderful, but actually enjoying your life is pretty important, too.
At Heart Mind Wellness in Manasquan, NJ, I offer somatic therapy, EMDR, and integrative trauma therapy to help people reconnect with themselves and experience life differently.
From the Art Classroom to the Therapy Room.
It All Makes Sense Now.
My career began as an art teacher, combining creativity with my love of helping people discover something about themselves. That curiosity eventually led me back to school for clinical social work and into community mental health.
Along the way, I recognized something that changed how I approached therapy: We can understand our experiences intellectually and still carry their effects physically.That realization led me to study trauma, the nervous system, mindfulness, and the mind-body connection. And, well, I haven't exactly stopped learning since.
I've Spent Years Learning.
So You Can Spend More Time Living.
With master's degrees in Clinical Social Work and Art Education, I'm also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with advanced training in touch work. My continuing education includes EMDR, Internal Family Systems, clinical hypnosis, and extensive yoga training.
But what matters most isn't the letters after my name. It's how that experience helps me meet you where you are.

Come On In.
Make Yourself Comfortable.
Good therapy starts with feeling comfortable enough to be yourself, and that includes the space around you.
The Heart Mind Wellness office in Manasquan, NJ, is a welcoming place to slow down, settle in, and take a little time for yourself. There's no pressure to have the right words, know where to begin, or show up as anything other than who you are.
There's More to You Than Everything You've Been Through.
Let's Talk About What Could Feel Different.
I love watching people reconnect with themselves, trust their instincts, establish healthier boundaries, and find more joy in everyday moments.
Whether we meet in my Manasquan office or virtually from somewhere in New Jersey, my hope is that our work helps you experience more of what makes life meaningful to you.
You don't have to become a different person to experience life differently.
