Getting to know Emily Gomez

Hi there, I'm Emily! Hi, my name is Emily Gomez, LMFT and I have been practicing since 2006. I have worked in a variety of settings and specialties throughout my career, such as outpatient psychiatric, substance abuse recovery, IOP/PHP, and private practice, so I bring an eclectic approach to my work with clients. I believe therapy is a brave and rewarding growth opportunity for those who choose to take the journey! My approach I am educated and trained in systems theories and work from a perspective that our problems are often stemming from relationships around us: work, family, friends, and society. Understanding how these relationships work together and influence us is the key to finding solutions. The quality of the relationship the client has with me is the primary positive force in helping one feel safe to open up and explore their inner world. I often draw from CBT, DBT, Narrative, Gestalt, and Person-Centered theories to help navigate through the therapy journey. My focus I love working with a variety of individuals, couples, and families. I have extensive experience working with people who have experienced some sort of trauma in their lives. I have also enjoyed working with people dealing with grief and loss, LGBTQA+, chronic illness, and mood disorders. My communication style I bring a genuine, kind, and relaxed feel to the therapy experience. When a person feels that their therapist is truly listening, understanding, and nonjudgmental, they can feel safe to open up and do the sometimes scary work of unpacking very difficult experiences and feelings. I believe therapy should feel liberating, safe, and helpful. My journey to therapy This career actually found me! It's a cool story about stumbling upon my calling without even looking for it. It has become an integral part of who I am since I am a natural lover of people, enjoy deep, real connections and constantly work on my own growth and compassion for the world around me.
