At Open Heart Moments Center, I believe healing happens when your nervous system finally feels safe enough to let go of what it has been carrying. I’m Dr. Melanie Gomez, a licensed clinical psychologist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and I practice Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR because it honors both what happened to you and what you never got.
Many of the people I work with carry wounds that don’t fit neatly into one memory: a lifelong sense of not being enough, anxiety that lives in the body, or relationship patterns that started long before they had words. Together we attend to your body, your attachment history, and the younger parts of you that learned to cope in the only ways they could. We build resourcing and a felt sense of safety first, and we move at a pace your system can actually hold.
I have specialized training in perinatal mental health and love supporting parents through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, when old attachment material often resurfaces. I’m also Gottman Method Level 2 trained and bring this same lens to couples work.
Sessions are available in person in Centennial, Colorado, and by telehealth in 40+ PSYPACT states, in English and Spanish.
