Gallup & Albuquerque, New Mexico
Hello I’m Annette Gates, LCSW-S, MEd, CSSE. All those letters show my dedication to holding a safe space for your healing. I’m not your normal talk therapist. I am a healer, seer, and a teacher. I see your true self and facilitate your healing.
My private practice serves clients seeking private therapy, spiritual healing, past life healing, EMDR therapy, and much more. I am a certified sex therapist and a master of education in human sexuality. As a licensed clinical social worker-supervisor, social justice, cultural humility, and empathy are woven through my psyche.
I am faculty at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. A global transformational healing school. The school and workshops are my chosen vehicle of facilitating transformation with you all. I offer free healing meditations.
Listen and receive the recent Eternal Cord Healing.

FREE Transformational Course Modules
From Transactional to Transformative Relationships: What’s going on? – Module 1
Understand deeper: your complaints, persistent thought patterns or desires. Get relief through guided meditation and forgiveness exercises.
Know thyself: What is reciprocity? – Module 2
What is communication and reciprocity? Understand your needs and values. Learn tools for communication and how to increase intimacy with your partner and yourself.
Dive Deeper: Taking inventory – Module 3
Knowing yourself and your values, needs and communication more deeply. I guide you through taking personal inventory. You will learn about your areas to let go and values to cultivate, with Brene Brown’s Wholehearted Inventory and your love languages with Dr. Gary Chapman’s 5 Love Languages.
Learn some coping tools for emotional regulation. Take Dr. Diane Poole Heller’s Attachment Styles Test. Use this to increase intimacy with your partner/spouse and yourself
Understand Your Trauma – Become a healing partner
Venture deeper into our roots. Through becoming trauma informed, we can heal ourselves and help our partners heal. Simply setting the intention of holding a ‘safe space’ as we become more aware of ourselves and our own patterns, it is healing; not only for ourselves, but for our current and future partners. We live in a shame-based society where we all experience trauma because of our upbringing, societal images, and lack of education. This often compounds already held trauma in the body that plays out in our experience of our sexuality. This affects our relationship patterns. Who we attract and bond with. You will learn more about your attachment style and how it affects your past and present relationships. Your trauma understandings will unwind in your body and create more space for your sexual life force energy. Your passion!
