Meet Teen & Young Adult Therapist,
GABBY Gomez

Hey there, I’m Gabby!

Being a young person in this world comes with so much pressure…like everyone wants you to have your whole life figured out by the time you’re 18. As if there’s this perfect map you’re supposed to follow - get accepted to college, start your career, get married, be confident in who you are. And if there’s a detour? Yikes. But chances are, no one actually gave you the map. Or if they did, it doesn’t feel like your map. It’s filled with other people’s expectations, like what you family wants, what school and work demand, what society says success should and must look like.

And those pressures? Well, they build upon one another. Quietly at first, then all at once. You might begin to feel it in your chest, in your stomach, or as a storm of thoughts that just won’t stop rolling in. Suddenly, you’re snapping at people you care about, shutting down, or slipping into a sadness you can’t quite explain. Sometimes, the pressure gets so intense it spirals into place you don’t know how to come back from.

But here’s the thing, you’re not alone. You’re a whole human navigating a world that runs on autopilot. It rarely slows down long enough to ask, what do you actually need? But hey, that’s where I come in.

Together, we’ll slow everything down. We’ll figure out where the pressure is coming from and what it’s trying to hold together. And then, we’ll explore the parts of you that have been overlooked or dismissed, like your identities, your values, your culture, your lived experiences. From managing stress and navigating life transitions to unpacking identities to making peace with your mind and body…whatever you’re holding, I’ll be right beside you.

You don’t need to have it all mapped out, I promise. Let’s start where you are and go from there, together
