Getting to know Leah Gonzalez
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Registered Art Therapist who works with clients navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, burnout, and life transitions. I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care along side expressive and creative interventions. I support clients in gaining insight into their patterns, building emotional regulation skills, and reconnecting with a stronger sense of self. At the core of my professional identity, I care deeply for each person and offer honesty, authenticity, and a non-judgemental space.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Before we begin session, you will receive documents to fill out. This helps me better understand the strengths and challenges that you are bringing to our first session. During the first session, we will review the paper work. Of course I can read the paperwork, but sometimes this helps further clarify or is better to hear in your own words what your experience is like. The first session is to better understand what is bringing you to therapy and to better get to know each other!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring a unique approach to therapy with my work being grounded in expressive and art therapy approaches. Talk therapy serves a great purpose in cultivating change; however, sometimes it can feel stunted for some people. Integrating art therapy approaches allows us to connect on a deeper level, gain better insight into emotions, increase a sense of safety by putting it in an image, or problem-solve. Additionally, therapy conversations are very powerful but when we create images it also serves as a symbol and connects us to the memory, feeling, or experience when we first made the image.

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.
