Elevating Growth
Therapist, LCSW, QS, RCSWI, MSW, MCAP
You've been holding it together for your job, your relationships, and your family. But when was the last time someone checked on you? At Elevating Growth, we work with high-functioning adults, college students, young professionals, and high-achieving women and men who are quietly struggling with anxiety, burnout, stress, and the weight of life transitions. You might look fine on the outside, but inside you're exhausted, overwhelmed, or just… stuck. We get it and we've built a space where you don't have to explain yourself.

Are you ready to rediscover living without the burden of emotional distress? I am an experienced, warm, and compassionate clinical social worker with years of experience treating clients with a variety of mental health conditions.

Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
My name is Brianna Gomez, and I’m a pre-licensed counselor with deep roots in Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. I earned two master’s degrees—one in Psychology and the other in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—from the University of Louisiana Monroe. My approach to therapy is informed by a trauma-sensitive lens and is strongly influenced by narrative therapy principles. I also incorporate elements from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), grief work, and attachment-based interventions. This blend allows me to support individuals in making meaning of their experiences and moving forward with a clearer sense of direction, self-assurance, and purpose. I believe no one should have to navigate life’s difficulties in isolation. Through our work together, we’ll build toward healing, insight, and personal growth—step by step.

Pathway To Grace Therapy & Wellness, LLC
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS, MA, CTP, RMFTI
I have experienced life as a mother, wife, military spouse, and woman navigating life’s transitions, challenges, grief, and loss while pursuing my own dreams and striving to become the best version of myself. These experiences, along with my genuine calling and gifting to walk alongside others, led me to become a helping professional.
My desire to encourage, support, and empower others inspired me to pursue the education and professional training necessary to serve with competence, integrity, and compassion. My faith keeps me grounded and humble, while my personal experiences continue to deepen my empathy and understanding for those facing difficult seasons.
If you are looking for someone to journey with you through life’s challenges, celebrate your victories, and support you as you grow into the person you are meant to be, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can begin one of the most meaningful investments you will ever make: becoming the healthiest and most authentic version of you!
