About

My name is Priscilla Gomez, LCSW. I am versed in the fields of anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma and the effects they have on the mind, body, and spirit. I ground my work in faith, a client-center approach, and help clients move into healing through healthier choices. My approach I am trained in Restoration Theory, which supports clients move from a place of pain to a place of peace. I utilize mindfulness exercises to help stay present at the moment and navigate the emotional pain from the past and bring light to the healing process unfolding. I believe in the power of understanding our unhealthy patterns by evaluating our thought process through Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to empower behavioral change in our lives. I also welcome faith into our sessions and allow clients to navigate how their faith journey has played a role in their healing process if they are ready to bring this into their sessions. My focus I typically work with clients high-motivated in their healing journey. Struggling with stress, anxiety, and/or depression as a result of past or current trauma experiences. Most of my clients age range 18-40, women, and mostly Latina (but not exclusively). My communication style Therapy sessions with me feel very conversational. I provide a safe space for clients to unpack the areas of their life they are ready to bring healing to. I provide reflective listening and reflective questioning to help clients come to their own understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I provide psychoeducation as we move through different themes, topics, or recurrences in their lives. I make sure to check in with the client's bodily experience as we move through the session to help the client gain awareness of their present experience, and I help teach mindful technics if the client is not familiar with the practice. My journey to therapy I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist who entered this field to help others find healing from emotional wounds.
