“I was very pleased with my consultation with Stephanie. She actually identified something in medical records that might be hugely contributing to the way I feel, and no other provider has addressed this. She gave me a simple way to treat the problem with over-the-counter supplements. I would highly recommend her!”

Getting to know Stephanie Gonzalez

DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, I CANNOT prescribe controlled medications/substances in Texas. However, I CAN still see patients there, offer alternative treatment plans, and prescribe NON-CONTROLLED medications. I earned a Master of Science in Nursing degree specializing in Psychiatry from the University of Texas at Arlington. I am proud to be a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I truly believe that none of us are immune to stress, anxiety, and feelings of sadness at some point in life. We all find ourselves feeling vulnerable sometimes. It is completely normal to question why we feel the emotions we do, why we seem to fall apart at times, and, most importantly, how we can get through it all intact. I believe the first step to meaningful recovery from anxiety, depression, complex mental illness, and/or substance use is to reach out and ask for help. It is a difficult but very brave action. I do not judge, look down on, or question your past experiences or current situation. I am skilled at rationally breaking down situations and can offer practical advice and medication suggestions tailored to your goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

A new client should know that I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where they can openly share their thoughts and concerns. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and open communication. My approach to care is collaborative and patient-centered. I work closely with each client to understand their unique experiences, goals, and challenges, and together we develop a treatment plan that best supports their mental health and overall well-being. This may include medication management, education about mental health conditions, and practical strategies to help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. My goal is to help clients feel heard, supported, and empowered as they work toward greater stability, resilience, and improved quality of life.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My typical process for working with clients is pretty straight forward. I am easy to read, consistent, and trustworthy. I require the same in return from clients. After a thorough initial assessment, I like to evaluate what the client's ultimate goals are. I am realistic with possible outcomes. I discuss what options are available and lay out a plan of care that doesn't just include medication suggestions. Although very important, medication cannot alone be expected to eliminate mental health difficulties. Healthy lifestyle habits are also important, and I like to inquire about relationships (both personal and professional), daily physical activity, and food/beverage choices. My treatment approach is full recovery from mental health issues can only be attained when the provider and the client can come together to identify the best possible treatment plan, individualized to the needs of the client. I do not support a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I support a professional provider/client relationship that allows for open-minded conversations that lead to treatment plans catered for the individual…not the masses.
