Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience providing specialized, confidential telehealth. My practice is built to support ambitious individuals—including busy professionals and dedicated college students—navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Because your schedule is already packed with work or demanding coursework, I offer dedicated session times outside standard hours, including early mornings and weekends. Whether you are dealing with academic/professional burnout, family-of-origin issues, or deep emotional blocks, I provide a warm, inclusive space to unburden those patterns. I practice fluidly in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, honoring your unique cultural or bicultural lived experience.

Genesis Gomez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience in the mental health field, I have worked extensively with children, adolescents, young adults, and families navigating complex emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges.

My clinical experience includes working with individuals impacted by trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, identity development, family conflict, attachment difficulties, and significant life transitions. Much of my work has centered on supporting individuals and families navigating complex family systems, adverse childhood experiences, disrupted relationships, and challenges related to self-worth, belonging, and personal identity.

My therapeutic style is eclectic, integrative, and grounded in a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive framework. I have received training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and I draw from various therapeutic approaches to meet each client's unique needs. I believe meaningful therapy goes beyond addressing symptoms; it involves understanding the experiences, relationships, and environments that have shaped how we see ourselves and navigate the world.

Above all, I value authenticity, curiosity, and genuine human connection. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe to explore difficult emotions, challenge longstanding patterns, strengthen their sense of self, and develop greater insight into their experiences. My goal is not simply to help clients cope, but to empower them to build healthier relationships, reclaim their personal narratives, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Dr. William Marek

Psychologist

Introduction

I primarily use a cognitive behavioral approach. My focus area of practice is helping clients improve their lives and find meaningful change.

My communication style

My sessions are calm, collegial, interactive, respectful, directive, and helpful.

How I help clients reach goals

Change does not necessarily take a long time. We're 'shooting for the moon' right away. What's the worst that could happen?

My journey to becoming a provider

Helping others help themselves is an absolute privilege! I'd pay them to do this work (but please don't tell them that.) How did I get here? It's a long story. I originally went to college to be a journalist, but changed to broadcasting. Dumb. I needed to jumpstart my life, so I changed to this profession. Talk about purpose and meaning!
