Getting to know Joren Gonzales
I have worked with numerous individuals as well as families who come from diverse populations. Together, we worked on implementing positive behavior management and crisis intervention strategies when needed.
I noticed that through my engagement with the people I support, they are able to work on moving passed their own trauma.
The experiences I have in Social Services have reinforced in me a desire for specialized training in counseling. Looking ahead, a career as a licensed counselor will provide me with the greatest fulfillment. Counseling is more than a job, it is a passion and a purpose. I believe that my educational, professional and personal experiences make me an excellent fit to work with individuals coming from various backgrounds. I wish in my career to focus on individuals and families suffering from trauma, family dynamics and emotional dysregulation. I thank you for your time and look forward to working with you.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Creating a safe and non-judgmental space is paramount. I incorporate different therapeutic techniques specific to your needs, promoting collaboration in our journey together. Clients can look forward to their own self-discovery, coping mechanism, and well defined tools to work through their obstacles. My objective is to empower the people I work with to make positive changes in their lives and reach self development goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In the first session I will complete an intake assessment to gather as much information to better assess and get to know you, your history, and what concerns have brought you to therapy and therefore set up goals. The following sessions, we will engage in talk therapy while pulling from various modalities to help you achieve your goals. Our sessions are 45 min in length on a weekly basis.
Please allow 15 minutes before the session to do the intake paperwork.
I PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES ONLY; PLEASE NOTE I DON’T PROVIDE MEDICATION MANAGEMENT SERVICES.

I’ve had a wonderful experience working with Joren. She creates a space where I feel comfortable being honest about the challenges I’m facing without feeling judged. She listens thoughtfully asks me questions and helps me see things in a different perspective when needed. I always feel heard and I'm also encouraged to reflect, grow, and move forward. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a supportive, insightful, and professional therapist.
