Testimonials

“Six years ago, I reunited with my birth son who I had put up for adoption when I was 18. It was such a joyous reunion, but I knew at that point in my life that, I better get myself into some therapy, because I didn’t want to take a chance and mess up my reunion with my son! That’s when I found Jeanna Gomez with Gomez Counseling and Consulting Services, and that has been the biggest blessing.
I myself was adopted 57 years ago, and I have always struggled with who I was. I was a people pleaser and in constant search of some validation. I was masking so much pain, (partially because of the loss of my son and in other parts, the loss of my own origin) After going to Jeanna, she has taught me so much about loving myself and that I am valuable and she has taught me to set boundaries in order to take care of myself! After, working with Jeanna, I truly am more confident and I’ve learned to love and respect myself and that I am valuable! I have the most amazing relationship with my birth son and my daughters. My marriage is even so much stronger, because of seeing Jeanna! She truly is an amazing therapist, and I highly recommend her! Everyone deserves a fantastic therapist like her”

“I worked with Jeanna for a year and feel like my life turned a corner working with her. I was seeking therapy for general anxiety, work stress, and performance anxiety. I had gone through counseling in the past – the kind where I’d explain an issue to the counselor and we’d talk about it. While that was somewhat helpful, I was not seeing much of a difference in the way I felt so I started to look for someone with Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR experience.” With Jeanna, we used a combination of SE, EMDR, and Brainspotting; on different days different methods were more effective. There were a number of root issues/traumas behind my anxiety that were not consciously within my awareness, and the different techniques helped those issues come to the surface so that they could be addressed. It took some time to identify and work through my issues; the awareness and healing did not happen overnight for me, but Jeanna was perceptive as to what I was experiencing emotionally, physically, and cognitively, and I thought she consistently led me in a direction of progress. I recommend Jeanna and would definitely consider working with her again in the future.”

“My life changed dramatically after taking the Love Addiction Workshop. I used to look for others to love me. Now I can love myself. Now when I feel abandoned, I can love and nurture myself and know that I am enough”.

Ignite was an eye opening experience for me. We went through many exercises and conquered obstacles that left me with a greater understanding of my nervous system and how to help it along in my healing practices. Through this work, I’ve strengthened my ability to handle the ups and downs of life with ptsd. I use the skills I learned in Ignite every day, and I have much more awareness and peace with my process. The nine month journey with our group of wonderful women was a true gift.

Attending the Living Life Claiming Your Voice Family workshop was a pivotal moment in my journey toward self-expression and healing. For the first time, I was able to share my feelings with my father—words that had been locked away for far too long. The experience felt liberating, as if invisible ties had finally been severed. Jeanna, our wonderful facilitator, created a nurturing environment that encouraged honesty and vulnerability, making it easier to open up. Additionally, having my therapist, Ramona, present for support added an invaluable layer of reassurance and comfort. I left feeling lighter and more empowered, this is a must in any healing journey.”

“Attending this intensive opened my eyes to many of the issues I have faced based on my childhood experiences. It has helped me understand why I react and how I feel in different situations. Understanding has given me the confidence to change some of my co-dependent behaviors. I can honestly say that this has changed me and my life in a very positive way.”

The Ignite Your Inner Fire sessions has been life changing for me and the other women in our group. We have learned so much about ourselves and how to make the most of our lives. We have developed a deep friendship that has been a source of inspiration and encouragement. We call ourselves Warrior Goddesses, and frequently text each other for advice or just to share. I can honestly say that I am a better person because of this experience.

I was fortunate to be able to take the nine-month Warrior Goddess class, Ignite, with Jeanna Gomez this past year. It was a life-changing experience for me. The nine months of class meant that a great deal of material was covered, all of it helpful, thought-provoking, and relevant, and much of it profoundly healing. Nine months of deep activities with the other women in the group meant that we got to know each other well, and we developed supporting, caring relationships. As the weeks of the group progressed, I could gradually see an increase in comfort and confidence in myself, a willingness to get to group to work on and release tough things from my past and my present, and a lightness and sense of hope (and even fun!) in my life that had never been there before. The Ignite teachings have helped me get unstuck in many areas. I loved the activities, the homework (even when I didn’t always have a chance to do it!), the discussions, the guest speakers, the special activities like the Fire Walk, and most of all the love and support that I got from this amazing class. I will be forever grateful for this experience, and forever changed.

Learning about boundaries and doing anger/ shame reduction work is hard work yet I really see that for me this is how I truly start loving myself. I’m starting to respect my individuality more along with the ones I am closest to.

I am grateful for Jeanna Gomez’s workshop because I felt safe and it was an environment that I felt empowered to open myself up for this experience. I would recommend this to anyone who is struggling in their lives and especially for adult children who have been affected by the disease of alcoholism.

Now I have a deeper awareness of what I can do to help me be the best person I can be.

I am so grateful for the opportunity and experience that Jeanna provided in her workshop. She helped me see, understand, connect to and heal some of the parts of myself that had been left and abandoned in childhood. I feel this workshop was a huge step in an ongoing effort to reclaim my wholeness, step into my power and live a life of thriving rather than feeling stuck in surviving. Jeanna’s presence, compassion, understanding and guidance has been a priceless gift to me on my journey. Thank you, Jeanna, for the amazing work that you do.
