Karina Gomez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karina!

I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR Certified therapist specializing in complex trauma, attachment wounds, generational trauma, and culturally informed mental health care. I believe we all have our own emotional, mental, and physical healing process, we can learn yours together.

My focus

My approach is through warmth and connection. Instilling hope through emotional processing and evidence-based interventions, teaching new healthy coping skills to regulate and learn your nervous system, increase communication and support healthier relationships.

My communication style

I prioritize careful assessment, stabilization, and interdisciplinary collaboration. I value clear communication with referring providers regarding treatment focus, stabilization progress, and transition planning when appropriate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe we all have our own emotional, mental, and physical healing process, we can learn yours together. I believe my background and past professional experience has prepared me to work with you. My previous experience includes working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults in different settings all dealing with major crisis.

My goals for you

It is mesmerizing when clients see themselves different and for the first time. Working with survivors of trauma has taught me in the power of healing in connection and it has been a way I have been a witness to others reach their potential.

Our first session

Connection, acceptance, growth, and safety is what you can expect. I protect our relationship to feel engaged throughout treatment. Happy you are taking the first step by researching who is your person. I hope to be the one for you.
