Meet
Alba Gomez
LCSW, CCTP-II
Hello! I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker - located in the Bronx, NY. Serving NY and Massachusetts clients. I have over 10 years of experience supporting individuals seeking a greater sense of meaning in their lives. Many of my clients have worked hard to achieve loving relationships and successful careers, yet still find themselves longing for a deeper feeling of fulfillment. I help these clients look inwards to learn more about themselves and what drags them down. I also work with clients who would like to improve their anxiety and trauma symptoms by unpacking their patterns and triggers.
I teach clients how to identify the patterns that hold them back, whether those patterns were learned in their childhood or within a codependent relationship. I take an attachment-based perspective and Internal Family Systems informed approach with clients to help them grow their understanding of their emotional reactions. I incorporate mindfulness techniques so clients can also benefit from grounding, and also guide clients through reflection on what’s most important to them in their lives. Once these values are established, I help clients integrate these values into their everyday lives so they’re constantly living through what’s meaningful for them.
I earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from New York University. I have personal experience finding happiness and joy in my life after going through therapy, and enjoy empowering clients to find what makes them feel good about themselves.
My Why…Your Journey of Transformation
My personal experience adds a unique depth to my practice. I have navigated the transformative power of trauma therapy in my own life, and my journey has shaped my understanding of my clients' struggles and victories.
This intimate perspective drives me to be empathetic and strive to create an environment where my clients feel seen, heard, and understood.
I envision a future where individuals are not defined by their trauma, but empowered by their healing journey. I am dedicated to helping my clients rediscover their resilience, overcome the impact of complex trauma, and step confidently into a hopeful, fulfilling future.
Today, I stand ready to guide you on this transformative path, opening doors to greater self-awareness, emotional control, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of purpose.
My Guiding Principles
Each one of us holds an inherent brilliance, a unique light waiting to be discovered and nurtured.
My therapy practice is designed to support you on a profound journey of self-discovery, diving deep into the physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual aspects of who you are.
Healing isn't a linear process, and timelines may vary from person to person. Nonetheless, the journey usually includes
Cultivating Safety and Connection
Psychoeducation and Emotional Processing Through Talk Therapy
Identifying Triggers and Stuck Parts • Building Emotional Coping Skills
Childhood Explorations and Shadow Work
Increasing Self-Awareness
Post-Traumatic Growth
Embarking on this journey requires courage, but the road to healing, understanding, and transformation lies ahead.
