MARY GONZALEZ (She/her)

I provide a supportive environment for individuals seeking relief from overwhelming feelings of worry and fear. My approach integrates evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns. Together, we explore the root causes of anxiety, develop effective coping strategies, and work towards building resilience. My goal is to empower clients to regain control over their lives.

I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can feel safe to express their feelings and explore their experiences. I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques, to help clients identify negative thought patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Together, we work to uncover the underlying causes of depression and establish realistic goals for healing and personal growth.

I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space for individuals to process their trauma and regain a sense of control in their lives. Using evidence-based approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I help clients work through distressing memories and develop effective coping strategies. Together, we focus on understanding the impact of trauma, addressing symptoms, and fostering resilience.

I utilize this evidence-based approach to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is particularly effective in addressing various mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, and stress. In our sessions, we work collaboratively to identify negative thought patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to your difficulties. Together, we develop practical strategies to challenge and reframe these thoughts.

DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, allowing clients to develop skills in four key areas: emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. In our sessions, we work collaboratively to identify and understand your emotional experiences, while also equipping you with practical strategies to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.

EMDR is a powerful therapeutic approach that facilitates the processing of traumatic memories by using bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. This technique helps clients reframe and integrate traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional charge and enabling healthier coping mechanisms. In our sessions, I create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore difficult memories and feelings at your own pace.
