ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Dawn - Your Licensed Anxiety Therapist in Bel Air & Maryland.
I’m Dawn Gomez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) located in Bel Air, Maryland. I specialize in helping people get to the root of their struggles – not just manage symptoms – so you can experience real, lasting change.
I am certified in trauma-informed approaches like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I also draw from a range of evidence-based methods, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Brainspotting, EFT, and mindfulness-based practices. Every person is different, and therapy should reflect that.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to start therapy, especially if past experiences have left you feeling unseen or misunderstood. My approach is warm, compassionate, and direct. Healing doesn’t have to be a lifelong process, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Insurance

WHAT TO EXPECT
What Lies Ahead On Your Path to Healing
Healing is a journey, and therapy can provides a structured, step-by-step approach to help you process and move past what’s been holding you back. Here’s what the process looks like:
1
Free Consultation – Let’s See If We're A Good Fit
We’ll start with a free consultation where we discuss your goals, concerns, and what brings you to therapy. This is a chance for you to ask questions, get a sense of whether we're a good fit and decide if therapy feels like the right choice for you.
2
Getting Started – Building a Strong Foundation First
Before diving into any of the deeper therapeutic work, we'll take the time to explore your history and focus on immediate symptom relief. This phase includes learning coping strategies, relaxation techniques, and grounding exercises.
3
Let's Heal - Time For Tailored Treatments
We’ll decide together what treatments (EMDR, ART, etc.) feel right for you and I’ll guide you through any of processes. After each treatment phase, we’ll take some additional time to reflect on your experience and your progress and decide how to move forward.
4
Long-Term Support -Sustaining Your Progress
Our work together continues beyond the treatment phase. I will help you integrate everything you’ve learned into daily life, offering ongoing support as you learn to adjust to your new reality and continue building a healthier, more fulfilling future.
