Love doesnt need fixing.
It needs rewiring.
I help individuals and couples create emotionally safe, deeply connected relationships through attachment based healing, relational self awareness, and intentional connection.
The Philosophy
Strong relationships aren't built by accident.
Even loving, high-functioning people can find themselves:
The ways we learn to protect ourselves can quietly shape how we give and receive love.
My work helps people understand those patterns so they can create more honesty, safety, connection, and lasting intimacy — without losing themselves in the process.
About
I'm Susy Gómez, LCSW, PMH-C
Therapist. Writer. Spoken-word poet. Speaker. Clinical Supervisor.
For over 20 years, I've helped individuals and couples move beyond survival-based relationship patterns and create more emotionally connected lives.
My work blends:
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- attachment science
- mind-body connection
- and lived transformation
to help people build relationships rooted in emotional safety, self-awareness, trust, and deeper connection.
Because healing happens in relationship.
Relational Self-Awareness
Relational self-awareness changes everything.
The quality of our relationships is deeply connected to how safely we can:
This work is not about perfection.
It's about learning how to create relationships where honesty, vulnerability, and emotional safety can exist together.
What Clients Are Saying
Leave a Google ReviewWe have learned a lot about each other and ourselves through the guidance and insight Susie has provided us. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Susie has turned out to be a wonderful referral. She truly cares about her clients' journeys and always offers valuable take-aways after each session. Her approach is personable and provides us with useful tools we can practice in real time.
In the beginning when I was searching for a therapist Susie stood out because she responded quickly. She was able to do a first session right away and was able to accommodate longer sessions that worked with my schedule. She gave me tools and resources for me to look through and work on between sessions. She's very professional but personable. I recommend her to everyone.
We have had a great experience working with Susie. Her compassionate and thoughtful approach has been incredibly helpful and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe space to grow.
I have been working with Susie for about a year, and I absolutely love her. I had been with two other therapists beforehand and it wasn't a good fit. I found myself talking the entire session with no real takeaways or support. Susie is someone who gives practical, hands on advice, listens with empathy, and I really value her kindness and ability to help me make connections I wasn't aware of. If you are looking for a therapist that actually gives advice and solutions after each session, give Susie a try.
