Ayleen Gomez Lopez, MA, LPC, LMHC
For as long as I can remember, I wanted to be a counselor - to offer people a safe, comfortable space to talk through whatever was going on in their lives. I lucked out (truly!) and knew exactly what I wanted to study as soon as I started college. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University in Miami and later obtained my Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Missouri–Kansas City. I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri since 2011, became licensed in Arkansas in 2022, and have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida since 2024.
I’ve been fortunate to work with a variety of individuals and concerns, including depression, anxiety, and psychosis. I’m especially passionate about supporting adults navigating infertility, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions. As a military spouse, I also have firsthand understanding of some of the unique challenges that can come with military life and frequent transitions. My approach draws from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, exposure techniques, and mindfulness-based practices, which I tailor to each person’s individual needs and goals.

Every now and then, you might catch a glimpse of my two four-legged office mates, Sophie and Rocket. They usually snooze quietly by my desk during sessions, but they’re always happy to make an appearance if you'd like to say hello. Just ask - they love brightening someone’s day!
