Getting to know Maria Gonzalez

Hi there, I'm Maria! Maria E. Gonzalez, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years in the field. I'm currently practicing in California via Telehealth. I want to offer a safe space for you to learn and heal while practicing self-love and self-compassion. My approach I am a person-centered therapist and like to tailor my approach to meet your needs and goals, while also utilizing Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness tools. My focus I have been working with adults who have been experiencing challenges in their relationship with themselves and others due to substance use, codependency behaviors, stress, anxiety, and depression. My communication style I strive to provide an open, supportive, and safe space where we can dialogue about your needs and goals in therapy. Building trust is the first step in feeling safe in order to explore what your needs are within therapy. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a passion for helping and advocating for others. Throughout college and post-graduation, I volunteered as a mentor and tutor. I've been a therapist for 20 years now and continue to learn new ways to help others get grounded, set healthy boundaries, practice self-compassion, and self-care. My goals for you Meeting you where you are as you begin your journey into therapy is important. I hope to collaborate with you as you become more comfortable with me, and we can move into discussing and setting your goals for your care. My first session with you During your first session, I hope to explore your reasons for seeking therapy, how you have been feeling, and what challenges you are navigating. As we begin to build trust and a therapeutic relationship, we can explore what your hopes and goals will be during your care.
