Getting to know Amanda Gozalez
My name is Amanda Gonzalez, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and a registered art therapist in California and New Jersey. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loyola Marymount University. I utilize creative interventions to help my clients understand and express difficult emotions while discovering deeper aspects of their mental health.
My approach is flexible, as each person may benefit from a different style. I am particularly interested in how the past influences our current experiences and how we can free ourselves from unwanted internal or external burdens by understanding their origins. As a registered art therapist, I incorporate creative methods to support clients in exploring their emotions and mental health. Whether your goal is to address a specific issue or seek general support during lifestyle changes, I aim to guide you in building a more authentic connection with yourself and the world around you.
My focus is on helping those struggling with self-acceptance, identity and shame, feeling "stuck," and general relationship conflicts. I work best with clients who are curious and eager to explore the deeper parts of themselves.
In my communication style, I strive to create a warm and empathetic environment to establish a trusting and meaningful connection. As I get to know my clients, I may sometimes challenge their current perspectives to help broaden and enrich their understanding.
