Hi there,
I'm karla Gomez, License number: LCSW126082. Embarking on the therapy process 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.
My approach
The overall goal of therapy is to help my clients overcome challenging life stages and trauma in their life using psychoanalytic modalities and a holistic approach. Other theoretical approaches I use to support my client's treatment derive from Gestalt, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and somatic techniques.
My Focus
I work with adults age ranges (22-40) and teens (13-17). I am most comfortable treating the following conditions: Anxiety Disorders, Trauma, Depression, and Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).
My Communication Style
I understand that every person is unique and that is why I collaborate with my clients to create strategies that support their values, personalities, and goals in treatment. I strive to create a supportive environment for clients by creating a space that is nonjudgmental and safe. I view therapy as a process of self-discovery and encourage my clients to engage in self-reflection of the therapeutic process, by encouraging feedback of the effectiveness of the use of strategies in session. It is important for me as a therapist for my clients to feel validated and understood each session; as such, I encourage clients to have transparent dialogues about their needs and empower them to express ways I can better support them through their healing journey. This often improves the therapeutic relationship.
