Hello,

My name is Dr. Christine Gomes and I have been licensed as a clinical psychologist for the past 9.5 years. I received my doctoral degree from Rosemead School of Psychology in Los Angeles County, California. While I was in training, I worked with a wide variety of clients in different settings. In recent years, I have focused heavily on trauma-focused therapy techniques.

I'm a seasoned dually licensed therapist with over 10 years of clinical experience. I have worked with individuals who specifically suffer from addiction, borderline personality disorder, relationship issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, previously incarcerated and those in crisis. Iv also observed and supervised individuals in gaining their hours for licensure as well.

I work hard to be clinically informed and Christ centered in all that I do with my clients.

Where did you first learn what "enough" was? A hard truth is: what we fear is what we become. As a Christian + licensed therapist, and certified trauma professional, I help people move past trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, depression, insecurity, regret, rumination, and avoidance.

Now more than ever, we all feel like we have so much to lose when we try to heal. But it doesn’t have to feel like this. I seek to encourage clients to understand who they are beyond their diagnosis, understand their options, and how to move forward.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Doctorate in Social Work, and I bring both clinical expertise and real life understanding into the therapy space. My professional background includes years of direct clinical practice as well as leadership roles in complex, high stress systems, including serving as a Mental Health Director. These experiences have shaped my ability to support individuals who are navigating pressure, responsibility, and emotional overwhelm while still being expected to function at a high level.

I work best with clients who are strong on the outside but struggling internally. Many of the people I support are women, mothers, professionals, caregivers, and helpers who are used to showing up for others while neglecting their own emotional needs. I have a particular passion for working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, identity concerns, and trauma related to past or ongoing stressors.

Therapy with me is not about having all the answers. It is about learning how to trust yourself, set healthy boundaries, and show up for your life with more compassion and confidence.

I’m a Licensed Couples & Family Therapist and the founder of a virtual private practice serving clients in Washington and Idaho. My background is rooted in systems theory, which means I consider how family, cultural, and social dynamics shape your experiences and well-being. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and stress or anxiety. My work is grounded in creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported as you move toward meaningful change.
