Getting to know Bobbi Kyle Gutierrez

Hi there, I'm Bobbi! I consider myself an Elder Emo—someone who grew up loving black clothing, band tees, and concerts. But as I tried to conform to society's expectations as a young adult, I felt miserable and lost. It wasn't until I did deep internal healing and focused on my own needs that I realized what was missing: authenticity. That's why I founded Elder Emo Therapy—to provide a safe, welcoming space where clients can come as they are, with no need to pretend or hide their true selves. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Santa Clara University, which laid the foundation for my trauma-informed and client-centered approach. My approach As an emotion-focused therapist, my goal is to guide you in recognizing, labeling, and understanding your emotions. Using Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other approaches, we explore how your past shapes your present reactions, decisions, and feelings. This fosters resilience and helps you navigate emotions with a trauma-informed lens. My focus I work with individuals navigating attachment trauma, C-PTSD, and neurodivergent conditions like low-support autism and ADHD. My practice includes ADHD evaluations, trauma support, and exploring self-worth and relationship issues. I also specialize in working with clients in polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships. I am comfortable treating complex trauma and helping clients build healthier, fulfilling relational dynamics. My approach is trauma-informed and tailored to each client’s unique needs. My communication style Clients describe me as kind and gentle, providing consistent feedback that fosters trust and understanding. I am deeply present in sessions, offering a calm, grounded space for reflection and growth. My goal is to make clients feel seen and heard while gently guiding them through their therapeutic journey.
