About Xavier Gomez

Lasting change can sometimes be difficult to achieve when our internal/subconscious narratives are not aligned with what we consciously want in our lives. As a Hypnotherapist, my job is to utilize principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), Psychodynamics and Depth Psychology along with modern Hypnotherapy techniques (when needed) to effectively recruit your subconscious mind to help you in achieving your goals. By identifying, processing, and rewriting those internal narratives we can work together to create a path of least resistance towards your goals while identifying more positive ways to fulfill your unconscious needs.I am a Mental Health Therapist (AMFT working at an IOP) and a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, graduated with High Honors from the Hypnosis Motivation Institute (HMI). Based in Los Angeles, California. I am offering Hypnotherapy sessions via Zoom to clients worldwide, drawing on my M.A. in Counseling Psychology with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and 20 years of experience as a Mental Health Therapist. In my role as a Therapist (AMFT) I am currently focusing on helping adults with SUD (Substance Use Disorder) and Co-ocurring Disoders at an IOP. In the past my experience focused on helping families, young children, adolescents, adults, groups and couples with struggles including anxiety, trauma, depression, personality disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anger, suicidality, attachment disorders, eating disorders and substance addiction. In my role as a Hypnotherapist, I am currently focused on helping adults and teens with issues related to fears, phobias, social anxiety, driving anxiety, smoking cessation, self-esteem/confidence, communication struggles, intimacy and relationship problems, sleeping problems, low motivation, creative blocks, stress relief, insight building as well as issues related to spirituality/existential questioning. Hypnotherapy Sessions are conducted with an approach that integrates Hypnotherapy techniques with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), psychodynamics, sound-healing, and Depth Psychology principles with a gentle nod to spiritual exploration for those who seek it, while remaining grounded and inclusive for all. Sessions can be conducted in English or Spanish. Currently only practicing as an AMFT at an IOP but not in private practice.
