Karely Gutierrez
I am a born and bred L.A native. Born into a family where there was so much intergenerational patterns that were passed. As I placed my faith in God and I allowed him to heal me and show me my true identity in him I was able to experience life changing breakthrough. My hope is to help anyone who is seeking to incorporate faith, regardless of where you are in your walk with God (committed or questioning). God met me at my lowest, showed me his love and compassion that truly changed me for the better. I hope to show others how God is the ultimate healer of the mind, body, soul and spirit. Healing is an ongoing process and it takes daily renewing of the mind.
Strengths
There is no one size fits all, and I seek to learn what are the things that you are passionate about, what is helpful to you, how does your faith play a role in your life and invite you to be open and curious to engage in conversations and activities you may have not considered.
Treatment methods
Faith based therapy
God provided us a blue print for healing as a whole through his word and his presence. Incorporating faith based exploration, seeking understanding of his word, and activities about faith will help with a deeper form of healing that includes the mind, body, and spirit. While exploring the importance of faith, we will also include other modalities of therapeutic approaches that will be intertwined with Gods written word such as : renewing of the mind through cognitive behavioral therapy , healing the soul through trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy , learning to be present in the now and using coping skills through exploring dialectical behavioral therapy. The approaches and creativity to do this are endless!
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The renewing of our mind and recoding our thought processes and experiences is a critical component to rewiring how our body, mind, soul, and spirit. How we experience what we perceive informs how we react to the outer world and our inner world/self. Our bodies will either react in fight, flight, freeze, or safety based on how we encode what we see, hear, and feel. We will explore what thought processes are held and why (e.g.,childhood experiences, trauma, attachments) and whether they are helpful or unhelpful. We will learn to identify patterns and rewire them to make us resilient, adaptable, capable, and rooted in the ultimate truth.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Our body is so intricately made ! How we store experiences can cause immediate bodily reactions and emotional dysregulation that may seem crippling, send us into a state of regret ,and potentially cause harm to the self or others. Learning how to bridge the emotional mind, and logic mind to reach a wise mind will help us make better decisions. DBT therapy focuses on being in the present, attuning to how you feel and moving through it using different coping skills to reduce distress.
