Getting to know Edward Gonzalez
Hi there, I'm Edward!
Hello, my name is Edward Gonzalez. I am a licensed mental health professional with a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills. My approach to therapy is meeting the patient where they are at. I enjoy helping patients explore their past, encourage them to focus on solutions for their present stressors, and assist in developing goals to reach a better version of themselves and their life for the future.
My approach
I like to call my approach "interactive psychotherapy," and I would describe it as a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, brief/solution-focused therapy, as well as positive psychology. I combine these with psychoeducation, workbooks, meditation, relaxation, and behavioral-based tools for prevention and intervention purposes.
My focus
I enjoy working with adults, married and unmarried couples. I have over 20 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, stress, traumas, relationship issues, addictions, anger management, and grief.
My communication style
My patients have indicated that they enjoy therapy sessions with me because it is like talking to a friend who really takes the time to listen, clarifies, validates, and proposes different solutions and ways to change perspectives or narratives—all without feeling judged. While in session, they feel safe, relaxed, and accepted without feeling they are being "analyzed."
My journey to therapy
I studied psychology, counseling, and mental health care for my own self-understanding and to understand others. I have always been curious about what drives our wants, needs, actions, and perspectives in our lives. Knowing that I make a difference in people’s lives is what drives me to do this type of work.
My goals for you
I educate my patients on the importance of setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timed reasonably.
