Sally Rye-Gomes

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


Are you ready to be happy, content and in love with yourself? I am here to help you achieve your goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, of which is the study of human movement (sports medicine) from the University of Washington. I also have a Masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, WA. My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I’m passionate about providing quality mental health care to my clients.

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." Do you feel like you’re "managing" your parent instead of having a relationship with them? Body: For many adult children of narcissistic parents, every phone call feels like a tactical mission. You’re constantly scanning for "mood shifts," choosing your words with extreme caution, and dealing with a hangover of guilt long after the conversation ends. It’s exhausting to be the only one trying to keep the peace. I help clients move out of "survival mode" and into a place of emotional autonomy.

Paulette Winsor

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Arizona


I bring warmth and genuine curiosity to every session. My work centers on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, and the lasting effects of trauma — and I believe that healing happens best when you feel truly heard. I take time to understand what matters most to you before we ever talk about a treatment plan, because good care has to fit your life, not just your diagnosis. My approach is collaborative: we figure things out together. I want you to leave each session feeling more capable, not more dependent on me. If you are ready to feel like yourself again, I am here to help you get there.
