Getting to know Marlene Gomez
My name is Marlene Gomez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Starting therapy can feel daunting and overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling with emotions that are difficult to name or express. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space where you can explore your inner thoughts and feelings, understand their origins, and find ways to cope with and express your emotions.
My approach
I treat mental health from a systemic lens, recognizing that our inner world is deeply connected to our interactions with family, colleagues, and the broader world. I consider myself a trauma-informed and culturally inclusive therapist. I believe all humans are capable of growth and change, and I am here to support that process.
My focus
My experience includes, but is not limited to, working with individuals struggling with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, family of origin issues, difficulty with individuating, parenting challenges, and women’s issues.
My communication style
My communication style is warm and compassionate yet direct. I strive to create safe spaces where we can discuss sensitive topics with openness and curiosity.
My journey to therapy
To make the best use of our time together, it’s helpful to consider your goals for treatment. I work collaboratively with clients to explore what success in therapy looks like for them—specifically, what will be different or improved by the end of treatment.
My first session with you
Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We will begin by reviewing confidentiality and its limits to ensure you feel safe and informed throughout the process.
