Getting to know Genevieve Gonzales

It is truly my passion to facilitate innovative and whole-being mental health and emotional wellness solutions that are as unique and individual to you as you are to this world. I do not believe that women need to be empowered; I believe that we are already in full possession of our feminine power. However, sometimes this energy gets blocked due to traumatic life events, heartbreak, grief, abuse, stress, societal issues, or other factors. These blocks can feel disempowering, so through our meetings together, we will break through and dissolve the harmful programming, thoughts, or feelings that have been keeping you stuck. You will go from feeling heavy, scattered, tired, anxious, sad, shameful, or generally disheartened to feeling light, free, and understood. For as long as I can remember, I have been on a journey to acquire expertise and skill in the healing arts and in resolving emotional pain for people, especially women. This journey began when I first entered the world of healing for animals by becoming a Veterinary Technician as a teenager, where I gained extensive knowledge in traditional or Western medicine and was later introduced to Holistic Medicine Practices and Nutrition. While working in the veterinary field, I enrolled in school and began studying to become a therapist. I specialized my studies in Human Sexuality and Women's Studies because I knew there was a need for deep healing, education, and research in these areas. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Women's Studies and my Master's in Social Work, both from San Diego State University. When I entered the traditional mental health realm as a medical social worker on a hospital behavioral health unit, I encountered many people who were deeply and intensely suffering. I realized early on that most people with severe mental suffering, if not all, had experienced traumatic events at some point in their lives, especially sexual trauma.
