Deyanira Gomera, LCSW

I am a clinical social worker licensed in Massachusetts.

I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, MA, and my master’s degree in social work from Simmons University in Boston, MA. I discovered my passion for therapy while working as a therapeutic mentor for youth with significant emotional and mental health needs and pursued opportunities to support individuals from diverse backgrounds.

I have experience working with adults who struggle with depression and anxiety as a result of various stressors related to housing, economic challenges, relationship problems, immigration, and abrupt life transitions.

I proudly identify as a Latina clinician and aspire to contribute to the destigmatization of mental health in the Latinx community and across all populations, fostering a more inclusive and accepting space for healing.

I specialize in supporting adults navigating life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, cultural identity exploration, family dynamics, social issues, relationships, self-esteem concerns, grief, and/or caregiver stress. I welcome clients from Latinx backgrounds, including Spanish-speaking and bilingual individuals, who may be exploring cultural and racial identity or facing unique cultural dilemmas.

I can provide therapy in English and Spanish.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs, integrating evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness and meditation practices, narrative therapy, and solution-focused therapy, as well as emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques and trauma-informed care. Above all, I strive to create a space rooted in safety, respect, empathy, and non-judgment, where you feel validated and supported in your growth.

Therapy doesn’t mean something is wrong with you; therapy highlights your resilience and ability to overcome personal challenges. It’s a collaborative process that empowers you to navigate life’s difficulties with greater self-awareness, confidence, and clarity. I aim to provide a space where you maintain autonomy while my expertise provides the tools and support to help you reach your goals—you don’t have to do it alone.

I can help you identify and manage difficult emotions while increasing self-awareness of the connection between your mind and body. I offer a therapeutic space that is strength-based, client-centered, trauma-informed, and culturally and identity-affirming.
