Sally Rye-Gomes
Are you ready to be happy, content, and in love with yourself? As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am here to help you achieve your goals. With a background in Kinesiology from the University of Washington and a Master’s in Psychology from Antioch University, I bring a unique perspective to mental health. I am also a certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I am deeply passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care tailored to your specific needs.
My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor.
First session
This first session will be the initial assessment, so that I can get to know you and you can begin to feel comfortable and trust that we can achieve our goals together. In our first session, I will introduce myself and you'll have the opportunity to tell me all about yourself. I won't judge. Then, I will help you explore healing modalities. This exploration will involve looking at the different types of options that are available, but also looking at which ones would fit your personality and the goals you've set for yourself.
Strengths
My approach is truly eclectic; because you are multifaceted, I utilize various modalities rather than a one-size-fits-all method. My greatest strength is building a foundation of radical trust. Once we establish a secure therapeutic relationship, we can organically challenge the ineffective beliefs and behaviors that have been holding you back, paving the way for lasting, meaningful change. Since many clients feel a sense of "disloyalty" when seeking help for family issues, include a line like: "Seeking support isn't about being 'disloyal'—it's about being healthy."
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT it is not culturally biased just straight forward and is a skill based approach. These learned skills help change thoughts and actions to work through complex emotions. Clients gain insight into patterns of thinking and behaving that they were not aware of. CBT helps clients to learn to separate rational mind from their emotional and will lean to to integrate them, to create a different pattern of thinking and behavior.
Humanistic
I have been successful with humanistic therapy because I am committed to the following principles: Authenticity, Acceptance, Empathy, and Collaboration. These principles create a safe space for clients to explore their true selves, which leads to a transformative journey of ever-greater self-understanding and self-actualization. In the process of discovery, I draw on other modalities such as family systems, birth order, mindfulness, and reading relevant books.
