Daisy Gómez, LCPC

If you grew up hearing “échale ganas” and pushed through even when you were already running on empty, this space is for you.

I’m Daisy Gómez, LCPC a first-generation, bilingual Mexicana therapist, coach, and public speaker. I help high-achieving, first-gen professionals move from anxiety, burnout and survival mode into a more grounded, joyful, and authentic life.

You don’t have to choose between honoring your parents’ sacrifices and caring for your mental health. We can do both.

Ways to Work Together

If you’re tired of running on autopilot, of feeling guilty for needing rest, or of holding everything in your body this can be the moment you choose something different.

You deserve support that understands where you come from and where you’re going.
