Feeling the pull towards deeper alignment?
This offering is a space to untangle from survival strategies that no longer serve you—like shrinking, overgiving, or hiding parts of yourself to feel safe. Through a relational, body-aware, and justice-rooted approach, we’ll work together to explore these strategies as parts of you that have been forced into roles to protect you. As we get to know these parts of you, we will work to grow our understanding of and compassion for these parts of you.
This work is an invitation to reconnect with your own inner wisdom — the spirit within that already knows how to be in relationship, how to feel safe in your body, and how to hold boundaries without abandoning yourself.
Through curiosity, care, and a pace that respects your nervous system, we’ll explore the roots of your patterns and gently open space for new ways of relating to yourself and the world.
This work can support the unfolding of a more compassionate relationship with yourself—one where shame may soften, self-understanding can deepen, and your needs are met with greater awareness. You don’t have to hold it all alone. Healing is a deeply personal process, and it begins with being met—fully, gently, and without judgment.
About Individual Therapy
In my work with individual clients, I primarily draw from an approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS). This model is based on the understanding that we are not a single, unified personality, but rather a system made up of many distinct inner parts. When we're struggling, it’s often because some of these parts are stuck in protective roles that may have once helped us cope—but are now getting in the way of how we want to live and relate.
We all carry inner parts that try to protect us—parts that may cause us to shrink, strive for perfection, people-please, overeat, or numb out with technology. These behaviors aren't flaws; they’re adaptations. And while they aren’t the whole of who we are, they carry valuable stories and intentions.
In Internal Family Systems (IFS), we recognize that beneath these protective patterns is something deeper: your Self—the wise, compassionate core that is connected to source, to spirit, and to a sense of unshakeable inner wholeness. This Self cannot be harmed by trauma.
In our work together, we’ll gently get to know your parts, building a relationship with each of them. Over time, we’ll begin to reweave these parts into a more harmonious system—guided not by fear or survival, but by the clarity and care of your Self.
In this work, we’ll also gently acknowledge the parts of us that carry burdens shaped by the oppressive systems and cultural narratives we’ve been exposed to. Some of these patterns are not just personal—they’re collective.
We may also weave in ancestral work, recognizing that some of the stories and protective strategies our parts carry were passed down through our lineage. This is a deep and sacred process—one that honors both the pain and the resilience we’ve inherited. Together, we’ll hold space for what’s been carried across generations, making room for healing, integration, and connection to ancestral wisdom. I invite you to bring your spiritual and cultural practices, the medicines and gifts you carry, into this process.

I offer individual therapy, relationship therapy (for couples, polycules, friends, or family), and both psychedelic-assisted and non-psychedelic therapy intensives. All offerings are grounded in trauma-informed, justice-oriented, and spiritually attuned care.

While talking about problems can offer insight, it often isn’t enough to create lasting change in how we actually relate to one another. That’s because relational wounds live not just in our thoughts, but in our bodies, nervous systems, and limbic brains—the deeper, emotional parts of us that formed our relational blueprints early in life.
Real transformation in relationships requires more than insight. It asks us to engage with the somatic and emotional layers of our experience—where protective patterns like shutdown, defensiveness, and people-pleasing were born. These patterns are often inherited from childhood, trauma, and ancestral lineages, and can’t be fully shifted by logic alone.
My approach invites you and your loved ones into an experiential process—rooted in safety, presence, and body-based awareness—so that you can actually feel and practice new ways of being together. This is the space where true rewiring happens, where trust is rebuilt, and where connection becomes not just possible, but embodied.
-
Therapy intensives are immersive sessions designed to go deeper than what’s typically possible in weekly therapy. Non-psychedelic intensives usually span two full days and are structured to help you settle into sustained healing work. Many clients report that a two-day intensive can feel like the equivalent of months of traditional therapy.
-
This is a specialized offering for relationships navigating deep or entrenched pain—often due to relational trauma that makes certain topics hard to explore in conventional therapy. Offered in collaboration with a prescribing psychiatrist, this approach combines medicine with a carefully crafted therapeutic container to support nervous system regulation and allow for transformative emotional work. This option is only available after thorough assessment and on a case-by-case basis.
-
Yes. My practice is explicitly affirming of LGBTQIA+ identities, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, chosen family structures, and all nontraditional relational configurations. This is a space where your full identity and lived experience are honored.
-
I do not accept insurance directly, but I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend contacting your insurance provider to ask about out-of-network mental health coverage.
-
That’s completely okay. I offer free 20-minute consultations where we can talk through your needs and intentions, and explore what kind of support might be the best fit for your healing journey.

Anastasia Gomes (she/her)
A licensed psychotherapist specializing in relational healing for BIPOC and queer communities. I support individuals, couples, and polycules who are committed to doing the deep, intergenerational work of untangling trauma and cultivating secure, nourishing relationships. My practice is rooted in an attachment-based, trauma-informed, and somatic approach that honors how race, class, colonization, and sexuality shape our inner worlds and relational dynamics.
I believe many of the struggles we label as mental illness are actually symptoms of complex, relational, and ancestral trauma — and that healing requires restoring connection: to ourselves, to one another, and to the land. My clients are often sensitive, justice-oriented souls who’ve spent much of their lives overfunctioning, caregiving, or second-guessing their needs. Together, we explore what it means to reclaim your voice, soften your defenses, and feel safe enough to show up as your full self.
