Do you ever find yourself wondering how and why you’re at a certain point in your life? Perhaps you’re tired of the same old routine or you continuously find yourself challenged with life circumstances.

Hola! Thank you for stopping by! My name is Esther Victoria Gomez and I am Cuban American, born in Gainseville, FL and raised in a little town outside of Miami called Hialeah. I am the owner and sole therapist of a private practice called Striving Minds Network (Mentes Esforzadas) in Miami, Florida. As a trauma-informed counselor, I have the privilege of helping young adults and adults who are presenting clinical concerns such as anxiety, abuse (sexual, physical, emotional, verbal, spiritual), and addictive behaviors. Were you sexually abused as a child with no one to turn to in order to talk about it and as an adult you have been triggered by painful memories? Are you in a physically, verbally, or emotionally abusive relationship and need guidance? Were you sexually exploited and are seeking freedom to regain control of your life? You try time and time again to break unhealthy habits or addictive behaviors and repeat the same patterns. Are you constantly in fear, panic, or worry its too overwhelming to bare? Do you believe anxiety has distorted your decision-making? If you have answered "yes" or "maybe" to any of these questions, then you have made it to the right place. Do you oftentimes find yourself stuck, trapped, or hidden? Pain is often skin deep, unseen, both in a spiritual and mental context. It’s difficult to overcome what you’ve experienced. Look no further, you've made it to the right place. At Striving Minds Network, you will discover the support to be heard and comfort to be eased from your burdens. I listen without judgment and demonstrate compassionate care. Give me a call today for your free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to working with you! **While conducting services, I am a working under the qualified supervision of Dr. Alison K. Davis, Ed.D., LMHC, NCC, BCPC.

I am aware of the stigma surrounding therapy/mental health in the Latinx community firsthand and this was one of the deciding factors in me becoming a therapist. I began my career learning about traditional healing methods (i.e. drumming circles, sweat lodges, etc.) and how they can be utilized in conjunction with psychotherapy and thus began my understanding of a more holistic approach to healing: mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I utilize an empathic, but firm approach with my clients. My job is to empower you to figure out what healing looks like for you and guide you on how you can achieve this. Much like other relationships in your life, the relationship you have with your therapist is a unique and special one. I am originally from the Bay Area and moved to Los Angeles to attend graduate school. I am bilingual native Spanish speaker, daughter of immigrant parents (Mexican mother and Peruvian father), and the first in my family to attend college and graduate school. My pronouns are She/Hers. My therapeutic orientation is person centered, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed, but have experience in utilization of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, solution focused, and other strength based techniques. I am also a writer for the website Powerful Latinas Rising, feel free to check out my articles: The truth about Self-care ( http://powerfullatinasrising.org/the-truth-about-self-care/ ) I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and conduct psychotherapy services under the supervision and license of Miriam Bermudez, LMFT CA #45636.

Hola y bienvenidos a mi práctica. Nací aquí pero mis padres son de México. I work with adult individuals and couples, and adolescents, especially people of color. I love to help folx who are struggling with depression, anxiety, parenting issues, loss, and marriage or relationship conflicts. People who come to see me have had traumatic or painful childhoods, have lots of worries, sadness or loss they can’t seem to get through or control, sometimes feel isolated or lonely in their communities or intimate relationships. Or they might feel like they don’t really belong or aren’t understood by the white dominated corporations they work in, or they’ve experienced infidelity or lots of arguments and unhappiness in their marriages. I listen deeply, convey my understanding with compassion, teach mindfulness skills to deal with the hurts in life, offer a new perspective that you may not have already thought about in terms of how to live your very best life. And I help couples to communicate in ways that feel better to both parties and build connection, resolve arguments, and grow a strong foundation for their families. I pay a lot of attention to your history, your feelings, your relationship patterns and what you aspire to have in all the important areas of your life, to help build bridges toward feeling more satisfied and at peace in your (Hot Mess) life. I also offer an online mindfulness course for women of color, and a couples workshop to divorce-proof your relationship. Thank you so much for your trust and courage to work with me!
