I’m Q. Gibson. A licensed therapist, relational healing expert, writer, speaker, and strategist. I’m a thinker driven by the belief that our relationships, our love, and our lives are fullest when we allow ourselves to be deeply held.

Many people move through life without ever learning what it means to be held in relationship. They learn to just endure, over-function, self-protect, be independent or stay emotionally vigilant. My work exists to help women, couples, and leaders interrupt the relational patterns that quietly shape how they love, lead, communicate and show up in the world. I believe those who allow themselves to heal, cultivate deep bonds, and learn to be held thrive in life, love, and leadership while those who neglect relational growth remain stuck.

This work lives at the intersection of relational intelligence, vision, and cultural insight, offering frameworks and experiences that deepen through reflection, practice, and shared learning. Whether through therapy, writing, speaking, relational strategy, my group practice, or the Held Institute for Relational Healing, I create resources and immersive spaces that strengthen our capacity for love, relationship, and the courage to be held.
