LMFT, 15 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Pleased to meet you! My name is Ashley Gomez-Hotko LMFT. I provide individual telehealth therapy to adult clients within the state of California. If you are experiencing symptoms of trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, grief and loss, family or relationship issues, or enduring a difficult life transition, I would love the opportunity to hear your story and support you. Carrying our pain without addressing it may not only make life less satisfying, but it can take a toll on other aspects of our health. Mental health IS health, and therapy can be medicinal for untangling the mind and heart. I applaud you with taking the first step in exploring seeking therapy! Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
Typically, the first session is very much about information gathering. I take an inventory on all aspects of health and wellness, and formulate a treatment plan to address all areas of need. I tend to provide feedback and suggestions pretty early on.
The majority of my experience is working with high-needs situations like domestic violence, suicidal ideation, and other forms of risk, but I also have a lot of experience in treating depression, anger management, and anxiety. I am strong in working with adults, transitional age youth, and the military population. My biggest personal strengths when it comes to my services are approachability, and initiative.

I am a trauma therapist. Since the beginning of my education I have worked in high-needs cases, so I take pride in providing top-notch support to people while going through some of their toughest situations, or trying to figure out how to recover from historical trauma. I utilize EMDR therapy for those who request it.

All of the above honestly. Ashley is such an easy person to talk to, and gives direct and thoughtful advice which I take to heart and has helped me to feel empowered and guided with the subjects I bring to them.

I was initially dreading beginning therapy again, but I feel hopeful that I'll make some good progress after having met Ash. Thanks for being welcoming!
