Getting to know Wendy Gomez
I have been working in the Social Work field for well over 20 years. I started in the world of substance use/abuse assessment and treatment. I earned my master's degree in Social Work from Cal State Los Angeles in 2010 and have been working as a therapist since 2011. I have worked with kids, up to age 16, in foster care. I've worked with school-aged children with developmental disabilities, coordinating services for them and their families. I became licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in 2017 and have been working with formerly homeless military veterans. I do everything from providing therapy, helping them through the housing screening process, helping them gather and complete documents, getting their new homes set up with utilities and furniture, and just setting them up to be successful in independent living.
My approach
I operate from a Strength-based, solution-focused perspective, while incorporating CBT and trauma-focused CBT when needed.
My focus
I have worked with children as young as 6 years old to adults as mature as 82 years of age. I have treated conditions such as ADHD, depression, anxiety, and OCD.
My communication style
My tone is always exploratory so that patients feel welcome and invited to share in their sessions with me.
My journey to mental healthcare
I knew I wanted to be in a helping profession at 14 years old. When I was in graduate school, my brother was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. I got to witness the difficulty he encountered once he redeployed home. This is when I decided that my career choice would involve helping military veterans readjust to the civilian world.
My goals for you
I work with patients on setting goals, as the patient should be involved in every part of treatment formation.
My first session with you
In our first session, you can expect to have an open conversation with me and discuss what brings you to therapy and what you would like to achieve from this.
