Counseling Intern
Welcome! I am Amy Gómez, a Counseling Intern at Northwestern University.
It’s important for me to meet you where you are as a client. I prioritize seeing, hearing, and understanding you for who you are. My approach is warm and empathetic, and my goal is to create a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship with you, so we can work through your concerns and toward your needs and aspirations.
My first focus will be getting to know you and developing the counseling relationship. I am committed to providing a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
I practice with an emphasis on inclusiveness to understand your identities and how they have impacted you. Together, we’ll explore the stories that shape your life, allowing you to better understand yourself and the patterns that may be holding you back.
I will customize our sessions to meet your individual needs, bringing a unique blend of Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide individuals toward empowerment and transformative change. I draw from evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques for stress management and building resilience.
I am passionate about helping you navigate through anxiety, depression, life shifts, relationships, dating, sexuality, gender, and trauma. I advocate for a sex-positive atmosphere, believing that sexuality is a vital part of human identity. My professional mission is to disrupt the sexual status quo and champion a culture where sex and intimacy are fun, meaningful, and pleasurable –Ultimately transforming your relationship with sexuality.
I will provide education, to help you develop skill-building techniques, and coping skills. These resources and tools will create a path for navigating life’s complexities and pursuing personal growth toward healing and resilience.
Reach out today to schedule a session with me and begin your path toward change and enhancing healthy relationships for you to live a more fulfilling and authentic life. I look forward to meeting with you soon!
