Spiritual & Past Life Regression Therapy

New Mexico – Durango – NYC – LA

Hello, I’m Annette Gates, LCSW-S, MEd, CSSE, CGC. All those letters show my dedication to holding a safe space for healing your relationships. Understanding and healing deeply held familial and ancestral patterns and beliefs can create transformational change. I’m not your normal talk therapist. I am a healer, seer, and teacher. I see your true self and facilitate your healing. I work with others on my team who align in the same way. 

My private practice serves clients seeking private therapy; traditional, spiritual, and past life regression therapy. As well as 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 and the team I work with.

I am faculty at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. A global transformational healing school. The school and workshops are my chosen vehicles for facilitating transformation for others. Please visit my Workshops/Meditations page.

Listen and receive the recent Eternal Cord Healing.

Healing meditations are focused on healing relationships and yourself. They help you regulate your energy and support your healing from the inside out.

Currently live healing meditations are on a pause as I expand my teaching and supervision capabilities. Please peruse the Google Folder with audio healing meditations recorded since 2021.

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. 

Know Your Trauma – Module 4

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!
