Healing is possible — even from the things you’ve never said out loud.

Darwin Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of clinical experience and a deep commitment to meeting clients where they are, not where he thinks they should be. He earned his Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago (Jane Addams College of Social Work) and his undergraduate degree in Social Work from Governors State University.

Darwin specializes in trauma, substance use disorders, anger management, domestic violence, anxiety, and depression — areas that often carry stigma and require a therapist who leads with compassion rather than judgment. He uses trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches including CBT, Mindfulness-Based CBT, talk therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help clients build real, lasting change.

With a strong foundation in cultural humility and ethical practice, Darwin is especially skilled at working with clients who have felt dismissed or misunderstood by the mental health system before. His goal is simple: to help you build the resilience and coping skills you need to live a more stable, meaningful life.

Darwin is a great fit for you if you are:
• Processing trauma or past abuse
• Navigating recovery from substance use
• Struggling with anger, stress, or domestic violence situations
• Seeking a therapist who brings experience, structure, and genuine understanding
