Welcome to your healing journey
Helping you Reconnect with all Parts of Yourself, to Heal, Transform, and Reclaim Your Story
Life’s circumstances can leave emotional wounds stored in the body, but they don't define you. At Amor Propio Therapy I create a space for you to safely explore those wounds, deepen your connection with yourself, and begin to write a new narrative to your story one rooted in self-compassion and resilience. Whether you are navigating Childhood Trauma, Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Grief, Relationship, Identity Issues, or want to heal from generational wounds, healing is within reach. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space where you can process, grow, and rediscover your strength.​ You don't have to carry the weight of your past alone. Healing is possible and I'll be with you every step of the way.

A little bit about me
I’m Vanessa Gutierrez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and therapist trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). My path to this work is deeply personal and it has been shaped by my own journey of resilience, healing, and advocacy. I know what it’s like to feel unseen, unsupported, and to search for a space where you can fully be yourself. That’s why I’m here: to be the person I once needed, and to help others heal and thrive from traumatic incidents and distressing memories.​ I specialize in supporting individuals who've experienced trauma and are ready to break free from the deep-rooted belief systems that keep them stuck in old patterns. Together, we'll gently explore and shift the narrative, so you stop living in the past and start showing up fully in the present. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I create a space where all parts of you are welcome and honored.
