Getting to know Genesis Goma

Hi there, I'm Genesis! My name is Genesis Goma, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the USC Rossier School of Education. My approach is humanistic and person-centered. I am usually direct in therapy but remain flexible to each client’s needs. My approach I have used trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness in my practice. My focus I have worked with a wide range of clients, from age 4 to late 40s. Currently, I primarily work with pre-teens, teens, young adults, and adults. I have supported clients dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, autism spectrum, disruptive mood disorder, among other challenges. My communication style In sessions, I challenge thoughts and perceptions. I am direct in my approach but provide a warm and open environment to foster growth and self-expression. I strive to be flexible in meeting my clients’ unique needs. My journey to mental healthcare My brother was diagnosed on the autism spectrum and worked with a psychologist, therapist, and teacher who helped him navigate his education and achieve his goals as a student and in his career. I also witnessed how therapy provided my mom with insight and perspective during a difficult time, helping her move forward. These experiences inspired me to help others in similar ways. My goals for you When setting goals, I collaborate with clients to focus on what matters most to them. S.M.A.R.T. goals are very helpful in sessions, and setting the tone at the beginning supports flow and continuity. Homework is also encouraged to apply what is learned and discussed in therapy. My first session with you Building rapport is key in our first meeting. We will discuss your background, previous therapy experiences, and your goals for therapy to create a strong foundation for our work together.
