Getting to know Karla Gomez

Hi there, I'm Karla! Karla Gomez, License number: LCSW126082. Embarking on therapy requires strength and courage, and I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and healing. I strive to create a nonjudgmental and safe environment, viewing therapy as a valuable opportunity for personal growth. With over six years of experience working with clients across the lifespan, I am committed to helping you blossom into your authentic self. My areas of focus are anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, co-dependency, depression, and trauma. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively. My approach The goal of therapy is to help clients overcome challenging life stages and trauma using psychoanalytic modalities and a holistic approach. Other approaches I use include Gestalt, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and somatic techniques. My focus I work with adults aged 22 to 40 and teens aged 13 to 17. I am most comfortable treating anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, and borderline personality disorder. My communication style I understand every person is unique, so I collaborate with clients to create strategies that support their values, personalities, and treatment goals. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental and safe space. I view therapy as a process of self-discovery and encourage clients to engage in self-reflection by providing feedback on the effectiveness of strategies used. It is important to me that clients feel validated and understood each session; I encourage transparent dialogue about their needs and empower them to express ways I can better support them through their healing journey. This often improves the therapeutic relationship.
