Busy Bee Therapy, LLC

Busy Bee Therapy, LLC Services include therapeutic evidence based interventions and therapy for children, adolescents, and adults Sometimes stuff happens that is out of our control.

Kids especially can be affected by this. At Busy Bee Therapy, our goal is to provide kids and families with effective therapeutic interventions for a variety of issues. Although our specialty is trauma based services, we also provide treatment for mood and anxiety disorders as well. We also provide parenting services using the Circle of Security curriculum or the Safe Care curriculum. As all families are different, we avoid a "one size fits all" mentality. Interventions, skills, and techniques are tweaked to specific family needs. You may be wondering about me--what makes me qualified to do this? Well, firstly, I earned a masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Colorado (go buffs!) Secondly, I've lived in a variety of places over my career, and have four current, active licenses in four different states; Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho; Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Utah; a Licensed Addictions Counselor in Colorado; and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. While living in Colorado, I was faculty at the University of Colorado Medical School in the Department of Pediatrics since 2009, and was affiliated with the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado since 2007. I worked with the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect from 2007 to 2014, and have experience working with families in crisis, who have experienced traumatic events, and parents who simply aren't sure where to go and what to do with children who are having difficulties. I will 100% brag about my colleagues at the medical school and hospitals--they were amazing, and the training I received in a variety of therapeutic interventions was among the best in the country--and I am grateful for it. I have been trained in such modalities as Child Parent Psychotherapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, Circle of Security, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, play therapy, Safe Care, Safe Start, and others. Working at university and hospital settings, as well as in private practice, allowed me to work with various community organizations and with a variety of families from different backgrounds and with various needs. Working with families to improve the lives of children is something I am passionate about. I look forward to working with your family soon!

✨ Learning, growing, and bringing the best to Busy Bee families! ✨

Last Friday and today I’ve been deep in training for SPACE — an evidence-based, parent-focused therapy designed to help children who struggle with anxiety disorders 🧠💛

One of the things I love most about SPACE is that it empowers parents. Instead of putting all the pressure on kids to “push through” anxiety, SPACE teaches caregivers how to respond in ways that reduce anxiety, build confidence, and support brave behavior over time.

I’m always grateful for the chance to sharpen my skills, learn from experts in the field, and bring the most current, research-backed tools back to the families I work with. Your kids — and you — deserve care that’s thoughtful, compassionate, and grounded in what actually works.

More to come as I continue integrating this into my work… and I can already say, I’m really excited about it 💛🐝

SPACE stands for Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions and is a parent-based treatment program for children and adolescents with anxiety, OCD, and related problems.

This line stopped me in my tracks: Predators rely on silence. Kids need repetition.

Hard conversations don’t cause harm—avoidance does.

Let’s step in, parents, not away.

PARENT PSA: THIS IS BIOLOGY, NOT A PHASE

Empires have fallen because powerful men failed to control sexual urges that were deliberately exploited.

Your teenage boys run on the same ancient wiring.

That wiring has been studied, refined, and monetized for thousands of years. The only thing that’s changed is the delivery system. Today, it fits in a pocket and runs on Wi-Fi.

Here’s what parents need to understand:

• Criminals actively target teenage boys
• They pose as attractive young women
• They are almost never real
• Behind the screen is usually an adult male criminal, often operating this like a business
• Biology kicks in before judgment does
• Common sense loses the race
• N**e photos get sent

That’s when the switch flips.

Once images exist, sextortion begins:
“Send more.”
“Pay me.”
“I’ll send this to your friends.”
“I’ll send this to your family.”
“I’ll post it everywhere.”

This is emotionally devastating.
This happens to good kids.
This happens to smart kids.
This happens to boys and men of every age.

This is not about morals.
This is not about being dumb.
This is ancient biology being weaponized for profit.

The solution is uncomfortable but necessary
Have the talk.
Have it early.
Have it often.
Have it again when you think they already know.

Predators rely on silence.
Your kid needs repetition.

Happy Parenting,
Officer Gomez

🚨 New National OCD Research Just Dropped—and It’s Alarming 🚨

A newly released white paper from the International OCD Foundation reveals a heartbreaking reality:
95% of people living with OCD in the U.S. are not receiving the most effective treatment available.

Here are just a few of the most concerning findings:
• Over 75% of people with OCD are never properly identified by healthcare providers
• 70% of those who are diagnosed are never referred to evidence-based therapy
• Only 2% receive Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold-standard treatment for OCD

That means millions of children, teens, and adults are struggling unnecessarily, often for years, without access to the care that could change their lives.

📣 This is exactly why conversations about OCD, research, and evidence-based treatment matter.

Our upcoming Roundtable on OCD & Research will explore:
✔️ What this data really means
✔️ Why ERP is still so underutilized
✔️ How families, clinicians, and communities can help close this treatment gap

OCD is highly treatable—but only when people can access the right care.
No one should be left without effective treatment when proven care already exists.

If OCD has touched your family, your work, or your life in any way, this is a conversation worth joining. 💙

Each month, hosts Jonathan Abramowitz, PhD, and IOCDF Advocate Kyle King pick a hot topic in OCD literature to dissect with expert researchers in the field. ...

🚨 Happening TONIGHT: Virtual Su***de Awareness Workshop for Parents 🚨

I wanted to share an important virtual workshop happening TONIGHT for parents that focuses on su***de awareness, recognizing warning signs, and how to talk with someone who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts. While I am not affiliated with this organization, I believe strongly in sharing quality, lifesaving education with our community whenever possible.

This workshop will cover:
• Key warning signs of su***de
• How to start hard conversations with youth and loved ones
• What to do if you are concerned about someone’s safety
• How parents can feel more confident and prepared to respond

These are heavy topics, but they are also deeply important. Education saves lives, and parents deserve access to tools that help them feel empowered rather than afraid.

Please feel free to share this with any parent or caregiver who may benefit. 💛

Family dinner does so much more than fill bellies. 🍽️

Regular shared meals are linked to lower risk of substance use, less anxiety and depression, and stronger feelings of connection and belonging for kids and teens. It’s not about perfection. It’s about showing up, together, one meal at a time. ❤️

Kids think it's a joke. They need to understand it's also a felony. If you think your kid is the exception, ask yourself if you're really willing to take that chance with their record, their future, or the emotional and physical safety of the victim, in order to avoid the discomfort of having just one direct conversation with your child. Be smart. Be educated. Be realistic. Kids need their parents to step in at times as their frontal lobe.

More research coming out about kids and smart phones.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17P2cd5oh5/

Children who have smartphones by age 12 are at higher risk of lack of sleep, obesity and depression, according to a new study published Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

What's more, researchers found that the earlier a child received a smartphone, the greater their risk of developing these conditions.

Our Story

Sometimes stuff happens that is out of our control. Kids especially can be affected by this. At Busy Bee Therapy, our goal is to provide kids and families with effective therapeutic interventions for a variety of issues. Although our specialty is trauma based services, we also provide treatment for mood and anxiety disorders as well. Aside from therapeutic treatment, we also provide parenting services. We have a 3 month program that draws from a variety of sources, all couched within behaviorist model. However, as all families are different, we avoid a "one size fits all" mentality. Interventions, skills, and techniques are tweaked to specific family needs. It should be noted that if any therapeutic intervention is needed, this will be discussed with parents privately. You may be wondering about me--what makes me qualified to do this? Well, I am a recent transplant to Florida from Colorado. I have a masters degree in Clinical Psychology, and two current, active licenses in Colorado: one as a Licensed Professional Counselor, and another as a Licensed Addictions Counselor. I am currently provisionally licensed in Florida as I finish the licensing process here. Until I moved to Florida, I was faculty at the University of Colorado Medical School in the Department of Pediatrics since 2009, and have been affiliated with the University of Colorado Hospital and Children's Hospital Colorado since 2007. I worked with the Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect from 2007 to 2014, and have experience working with families in crisis, who have experienced traumatic events, and parents who simply aren't sure where to go and what to do with children who are having difficulties.
