Sofía Hernández Gómez, M.Ed., LPC Associate
supervised by Marie Luna, LPC-S

Hi, my name is Sofía Hernández Gómez, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, born in Mexico City. I consider myself a bicultural person, as I was raised throughout my life in both countries Mexico, and United States, this has given me the ability to empathize and understand the acculturation process. In 2013, I graduated from Universidad del Valle de Mexico with my bachelor’s in psychology and completed my master’s in counseling from West Texas A&M University in 2022.

In my professional background experience, I’ve had the honor working in psychiatric hospitals and non-profit organizations in individual and group modalities. Facilitating programs of grief, survivors of suicide, battering intervention and prevention in domestic violence that has prepared me to engage with different populations.

I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults through art therapy, as a transformative and insightful tool to the inner workings of the mind and emotional state. Having a creative visual outlet to express your experiences, offering a space to start recognizing your strengths, develop self-awareness, improve social skills, address unresolved conflicts, increase self-esteem, leading to empowerment.

One of my goals as a therapist is to create a safe environment where anyone can feel comfortable to express, through the feeling of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and compassion, to start the healing process and endure the hardships of life by building resilience, cultivating new coping skills, exploring the connections between the mind, body, and emotions. Another goal of mine is to advocate for minorities groups, providing support for a population whose language barrier can get in the way to acquire help.

I truly believe that everyone has the ability to achieve growth, to heal and expand their potential to become their best possible self’s. It would be my honor to navigate and explore all those uncharted places next to you.

Coaching Versus Therapy

 

These are two VERY different experiences.  You get to choose what serves you best in your life today.

As a therapist, Bethany listens and uses evidence-based approaches that she's learned in school and in trainings.  It's such valuable work.  We dive deep in the trauma and the pain of the past, and we explore different ways to frame and shape those experiences.  As a therapy client, you will gain psycho-education and knowledge of current research-based practices and be challenged to implement changes in your thoughts, feelings and actions.

As a coach, Bethany is a mirror: reflecting and channeling.  She is a vessel and uses her energetic responses and embodied experiences to support you.  As a coaching client, we focus on upleveling your experience through energetic, embodied practices, accessing your consciousness through accessing the collective healing of the Universe.

Bethany is the same person, but these are two VERY different healing experiences she uses to support you.  As a therapist, Bethany does not discuss religion or spirituality without prompting; however, as a coach, our entire work is focused on accessing the energies of the Universe and ourselves.

Artistic Truths

 

The logo of Phoenix Moon Healing is in the shape of a moon to signify our connection to the earth and our spirit animals.  It is a call to remember to access the parts of us that the world has quieted with its structure, rules and bullshit.  A call to howl at the moon and access our aligned self that is raw and vulnerable, to bring the yin and the yang of the feminine and masculine energies.  The phoenix signifies our constant evolution, becoming and unbecoming, all the same and all different.  The phoenix is our steady energetic signature of strength as we activate and access our highest self.
