Dawn Gomez(She/Her/Hers)

Dawn Gomez is a licensed clinical social worker in Bel Air, Maryland. She works with adults of all ages. Many of Dawn’s clients come in to address anxiety, depression, loss and grief, relationship issues, and trauma. Dawn is particularly passionate about serving nurses, first responders, and caregivers. She also has advanced training in the area of adverse childhood experiences and attachment wounds.

Dawn is trained in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and IFS. In integrating these treatments, she works with clients to ultimately identify negative thoughts, images, and sensations and replace them with positive ones. In session, Dawn focuses on assisting her clients to achieve a sense of calm as they process negative experiences. Dawn ensures that her clients leave the session feeling calmer by using various breathing and grounding techniques, mindfulness and meditation practices, and coping skills. This approach supports clients so that they can achieve their desired changes in their lives.

Dawn's style is active, engaging, non-judgmental, and goal-oriented with a touch of humor. When clients first start therapy, Dawn will work to understand the client's past history and identify targets for treatment as the work progresses.

Dawn received her MSW from Arizona State University. She has also worked at community mental health providing treatment for clients with a full range of mental health disorders. Outside of private practice, she loves traveling to foreign countries and learning about different cultures as well as studying foreign languages. Dawn offers both in-person and telehealth sessions.
