“Glenda helped me come out of such a dark mental place I was in. She changed the way I had to think about things and would even send worksheets and articles to read on to help me understand better. She was very responsive and also understanding if I could not make it to an appointment. The techniques she taught me I still use today, I absolutely highly recommend her to anyone who is considering her services. I am forever grateful for Gigi”

Getting to know Glenda Gonzalez
Hi! My name is Glenda, mostly known as “Gigi.” I am a highly energetic and motivated Licensed Mental Health Counselor in South Florida who thrives on helping others reach their undiscovered potential. I have over 15 years of experience working in mental health with diverse populations and demographics, ranging from community mental health to private practice. I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Albizu University. I have a desire to innovate how mental health is perceived and facilitate treatment. My approach emphasizes the mutual development of therapy goals and ongoing evaluation of the therapeutic process. I seek to create an integrative, dynamic, and holistic approach to treating mental health through evidence-based practice and techniques.
FACTS: 1 in 5 U.S. adults and 1 in 6, aged 6-17, experience mental health challenges each year (NAMI 2020).
You are not alone. Help is available!
Don't let depression or anxiety get in the way of becoming something more. Let me help you overcome obstacles standing between you and living your best life. My training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Reality Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Play Therapy, and Crisis Intervention.

PLEASE READ: Ms. Gonzalez limits services to clinical care. Requests for administrative services like disability certification and special accommodations (e.g., Emotional Support Animal letters) related to psychological conditions must be provided by another mental health provider. Short-term disability certification by Ms. Gonzalez is limited to no more than 4 weeks; further determinations must be made by another provider. This policy avoids administrative tasks interfering with therapy.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Understanding themselves better, healing emotional wounds, learning effective coping skills, boosting self-esteem and self-acceptance, improving relationships, making positive changes and personal growth, building resilience and managing stress, and enhancing problem-solving abilities.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
