This is Rosa Gomez. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I was born in Colombia where I completed my bachelor Degree in Psychology before moving to the US in 2005. Being fluent in both Spanish and English allows me the to work with diverse populations. In 2012 I completed a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have worked for nonprofit organizations as a therapist working with children, adolescents and adults. My focus areas are: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, stress management, relationships difficulties, trauma, cultural issues. To provide psychotherapy services has been my passion. I like to assist people in their personal growth by encouraging their resilience and helping them tap into their potential to overcome life’s difficulties. As a holistic therapist I use different approaches depending on personal needs. I focus on acceptance, empathy and non-judgment. Life teaches us through different experiences and challenges. By being aware of these lessons we can find self-understanding and acceptance, both of which will help us face life challenges. It does not matter what difficult or problem are you going thorough, I invite you to welcome this moment not as a problem but as a challenge that will bring lessons to help you grow emotionally and personally. These challenges often point to those areas of our lives where we need to spend some time, to grow and learn. My role as a therapist is not to come up with solutions, but to assist you in finding them yourself. I will help you reach deep within yourself, because the solutions are there. I will help you find them. I admire your courage and maturity to reach out. I will support you in your journey until you are ready to continue alone in your journey. Your determination will get you far. I look forward to working with you.

I have worked with adults, teens, couples and families for seven years; I specialize in facilitating people’s own insights and resilience to access more resourced and contented lives. Living in California can be exhausting with its high paced culture; allow me to work with you on achieving insight(s) about the origins and solutions to anxiety, substance abuse, and dissatisfaction with relationships and work. With my background as a yoga instructor, meditation practitioner, and competitive runner and triathlete, I can join you in bringing awareness to maladaptive coping strategies. I strive to normalize and validate your experiences! I started my career in addiction counseling, via Hazelden Betty Ford's graduate program, and I then received a counseling psychology masters from Palo Alto University; I have been working for a large hospital as a psychotherapist for the past six years. My specialty is working with addiction of all kinds. With two decades of sobriety from alcohol and drugs, I can assist you and your loved ones in getting relief from anger, restlessness, and grief. I can support you in recovering from bereavement after losing a beloved person or animal. Recovery has varied approaches; let’s find yours and develop new skills. I commend you for channeling your strength and wisdom into positive action. Asking for assistance and implementing new life skills is not easy; "we cannot fix a problem with the same mind that created it," Einstein is known to have said. Most everyone deals with shame, guilt, and self-criticism, and now’s your time to achieve a respite from the human condition. Congratulations on taking your first step in realizing your potential! I look forward to working with you.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Self esteemDepression
9 years offering treatment
I am licensed in California and I have been providing therapy for children, teens, and adults for nine years. I work hard to ensure that clients feel valued, understood, and accepted just as they are because this provides the foundation for effective therapy. When rapport and trust are established, the change process becomes available. I believe that people change by actively modifying the way they think, feel, and act in their daily lives. Therefore, I aim to help clients develop the insight, tools, and skills they need to make the changes they desire. I emphasize practical plans for applying new skills and tools learned in therapy sessions. I use interventions and tools from various approaches such as Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR. I have experience in helping clients with a range of issues including depression, unresolved traumas, difficulty regulating or accessing emotion, relationship issues, and communication problems. It is a true privilege to partner with clients in their journeys toward a better life.
